Evolution occurs in populations of individuals. What must be true of a population for evolution to occur and how do different environmental factors affect it?
The three evolutionary processes that can cause evolution are,
1). Mutation
2). Migration
3). Selection
Genetic variation or Mutation: Change in base pair sequences cause mutations. The mutations may be harmful or beneficial. If the mutation is beneficial, the population must be migrated to another region to spread the beneficial alleles resulted from mutation.
Migration: Migration is the movement of large group of populations from one region to another. The migrated people tend to mate with the native people. This alters the allele frequencies in the offspring and triggers evolution. This change in allele frequencies describes the history of migration.
Selection: Natural selection is a natural process of selection of genotypes that would result in offspring with better reproductive capabilities. Natural selection is highly unpredictable and it act on pre-existing genetic variants. Natural selection always results in better survival of organism independent of its pathogenicity.

When a population is reduced to a very small number of breeding individuals, random genetic changes called occur. As a result of these kinds of changes, variation in genotypes and phenotypes will probably increase compared with the amount of variation present in the original population TRUE OR FALSE? genotypes and phenotypes are likely to occur at different frequencies in both the original and reduced populations TRUE OR FALSE? the reduced population will have a higher probability of extinction than a similar but larger population TRUE OR FALSE?
If a recessive condition occurs in 16% of individuals in a population, what will be the frequency of occurrence of the condition in the next generation assuming the affected individuals all die before reproducing?

Anthropology 111 - Human Biological Evolution Lab (Modern Human Variation) 1. In what populations do we see the high frequencies (above 80%) of the allele associated with lighter pigmentation? Japanese Indonesian Italian Chinese Mongolian India African German Bangladesh Turkish French 2. Why might some light-skinned populations, such as the Japanese, be missing F374 allele? a. There have been multiple, different mutations that have produced light skin in different populations b. This allele does not cause depigmentation c. Some populations, such...
If a population evolves a higher mutation rate, how will this affect evolution? A. More mutations will be available faster B. Selective sweeps will occur more quickly C.this will have no effect on evolution D. If the population size is very large, the mutation rate has no effect on mutation supply

1. One of the important theoretical concepts in population genetics is that of genetic equilibrium, which the Aarge, randomly mating population, allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation frequencies in a population are to remain unchanged, all of the following teria must be met the population must be Irge, there must be no mutation or gone flow, masing must be randon, and there must be no natural selection El Is a consequence of swarty...
The founder effect occurs when a natural disaster kill most of the individuals of a population, living behind a small group of survivors occurs when a new isolated population is founded by a small number of individuals possessing limited genetic variation relative to the larger population from which they have migrated с genetic variation goes down and the frequencies at which different alleles are found in the population, increase D when the number of hetero-zygotes increases and the number of...
Which condition can lead to two populations becoming different species? all of these A barrier to gene flow exists between the two populations. Individuals in the two populations have significant genetic differences from one another. Individuals may live in geographically isolated areas. Individuals in the two populations mate at different times. Which of these is NOT an example of adaptive evolution? bottleneck all of these gene flow founder effect Mutation Which of these does NOT influence allele frequencies in a...
