Dear student, as per our honor code we are allowed to answer only one question at a time. Please re-submit other questions separately. For now, we are answering question number 1.
Evolution:
It is a process of change in the frequency of alleles in a population over a period of time.
Gene pool – consist of all the genes, including all the alleles for each gent that are present in a population.
Cause of Microevolution:
Founder effect of genetic drift
A new population started with a small population. And it may cause rare traits at high frequency and common traits may get missed.
Bottleneck effect of genetic drift – when a large population is drastically reduced because of a disaster or loss of habitat and the resulting population may not represent accurately original pool.
Significance of mutation to evolution:
A good mutation can cause to further evolution of a species. Bad mutation can cause death to an organism of a species. A neutral mutation doesn’t show any effect on the fitness of an organism of a species. A good mutation is a raw material for evolution because it can make a new organism by changing DNA sequence more fit and that trait will help the organism to survive. And if this mutation is passed off it becomes evolution.
Natural Selection- the main cause
It is a process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; also called survival the fittest.
The environment selects the organism which survives and
reproduces it is based on the environment conditions. When an
organism selected by the environment it resists certain allele
combinations and that causes a change in phenotype. Change in
phenotype alters the genotype. Then this genotype starts to
accumulate in a population and maintains a favorable genotype. This
reduces the genetic diversity that increases the difference in
populations
Selection pressures against certain allele combinations. Act on the
phenotype, alter the genotype. Accumulates and maintains favorable
genotypes in a population. Reduces genetic diversity, increases
differences in populations.
