Evolution of Populations 1 1 The Gene Pool
- Slides: 63
Evolution of Populations 1 1
The Gene Pool • Members of a species can interbreed & produce fertile offspring Species have a shared gene pool Gene pool – all of the combined alleles of every individual in a population • • 2 2
Allele Frequency Each allele in a gene pool exists at a certain rate, or frequency. Allele Frequency: is the measure of how common an allele is in a population What is allele frequency for black pigs? White pigs? (B=white b=black) 4/16=. 25 x 100%= 25% b 12/16=. 75 x 100%= 75% B 3 3
Genetic Variation: Two main sources Mutation: random change in DNA of a gene. This change can form a new allele. Mutations in reproductive cells can then be passed to offspring. This increases the genetic variation in the gene pool. Because there are many individuals in a population, new mutations from frequently in gene pools. Recombination: New allele combinations from in offspring during recombination. Most recombination occurs during meiosis. When gametes are made, each parent’s alleles are arranged in different ways. This creates many different genetic combinations. 4 4
Genetic Variation • Different species do NOT exchange genes by interbreeding • Different species that interbreed often produce sterile or less viable offspring e. g. Mule ( Hybridization) 5 5
Populations • A group of the same species living in an area No two individuals are exactly alike (variations) More Fit individuals survive & pass on their traits • • 6 6
Modern Evolutionary Thought
Modern Synthesis Theory • Combines Darwinian • • selection and Mendelian inheritance Population genetics study of genetic variation within a population Emphasis on quantitative characters 8 8
Modern Synthesis Theory • 1940 s – comprehensive theory of evolution (Modern Synthesis Theory) Introduced by Fisher & Wright Until then, many did not accept that Darwin’s theory of natural selection could drive evolution • • S. Wright A. Fisher 9 9
Modern Synthesis Theory • Today’s theory on evolution • Recognizes that GENES are responsible for the inheritance of characteristics • Recognizes that POPULATIONS, not • individuals, evolve due to natural selection & genetic drift Recognizes that SPECIATION usually is due to the gradual accumulation of small genetic changes 10 10
Speciation • Formation of new species • One species may split into 2 or more species A species may evolve into a new species Requires very long periods of time • • 11 11
Microevolution • Changes occur in gene pools due to • • • mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, etc. Gene pool changes cause more VARIATION in individuals in the population This process is called MICROEVOLUTION Example: Bacteria becoming unaffected by antibiotics (resistant) 12 12
Natural Selection leads to Microevolution 3 ways that natural selection can change the distribution of a trait: directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection Directional: selection that favors a phenotype at one end or extreme (ex. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria) Stabilizing: selection that favors the middle or intermediate phenotype (ex. Gall fly develops more in the middle size gall because woodpeckers eat large and wasps attack small) Disruptive : selection that favors both extreme phenotypes instead of the most common 13 13

Species & Populations • Population - a localized group of individuals of the same species. • Species - a group of populations whose individuals have the ability to breed and produce fertile offspring. Individuals near a population center are, on average, more closely related to one another than to members of other populations. • 15 15
Gene Pools and Gene Flow • A population’s gene pool is the total of all genes in the population at any one time. • If all members of a population are homozygous • for a particular allele, then the allele is fixed in the gene pool. When an organism joins a new population and reproduces, its alleles become part of the gene pool and removes its alleles from the old gene pool of its former population. The movement of these alleles is called gene flow. 16 16
Genetic Drift -Changes in allele frequencies that are due to chance are called genetic drift. -Genetic drift causes a loss of genetic diversity in a population. -Two processes commonly cause populations to become small enough for genetic drift to occur. 17 17
Genetic Drift - Bottleneck Effect 18 18
Bottleneck Effect: occurs after an event greatly reduces the size of the population. Ex. Overhunting led to the decline of seals and only left 20, those 20 did not represent the genetic diversity of the original population so only their alleles provided genetic variation so therefore genetic diversity was limited. Through genetic drift, certain alleles have become fixed while others have been lost completely from the gene pool. 19 19
Founder Effect Genetic drift that occurs after a small number of individuals colonize a new area. Gene pools of these populations are very different from those of a larger populations so therefore you will see an increased percentage of individuals with the allele. Genetic Drift can cause several problems for populations. Loss of genetic variation so they cannot adapt to changing environment. Alleles that are lethal can be in homozygous can now be carried by heterozygous and become more common in gene pool. • • 20 20
Sexual Selection Occurs when certain traits increase mating success Males: Produce sperm continuously , making the value of each sperm relatively small. So therefore, their investment is at little cost. Females: Limited in number of offspring so they make more investment in the selection of mates. ”Choosy” Intrasexual selection: competition among males whoever wins mates. Intersexual selection: males display certain traits used to attract the female: ex. Peacock 21 21

Five Agents of Evolutionary Change Selection – Only agent that produces adaptive evolutionary change artificial - breeders exert selection natural - nature exerts selection variation must exist among individuals variation must result in differences in numbers of viable offspring produced variation must be genetically inherited natural selection is a process, and evolution is an outcome 24 24

Measuring Fitness is defined by evolutionary biologists as the number of surviving offspring left in the next generation. relative measure Selection favors phenotypes with the greatest fitness. 26 26
Interactions Among Evolutionary Forces Levels of variation retained in a population may be determined by the relative strength of different evolutionary processes. Gene flow versus natural selection Gene flow can be either a constructive or a constraining force. Allelic frequencies reflect a balance between gene flow and natural selection. 27 27
Natural Selection Can Maintain Variation Frequency-dependent selection Phenotype fitness depends on its frequency within the population. Negative frequency-dependent selection favors rare phenotypes. Positive frequency-dependent selection eliminates variation. Oscillating selection Selection favors different phenotypes at different times. 28 28
Heterozygote Advantage Heterozygote advantage will favor heterozygotes, and maintain both alleles instead of removing less successful alleles from a population. Sickle cell anemia Homozygotes exhibit severe anemia, have abnormal blood cells, and usually die before reproductive age. Heterozygotes are less susceptible to malaria. 29 29

Forms of Selection Disruptive selection Selection eliminates intermediate types. Directional selection Selection eliminates one extreme from a phenotypic array. Stabilizing selection Selection acts to eliminate both extremes from an array of phenotypes. 31 31
Kinds of Selection 32 32
Selection on Color in Guppies are found in small northeastern streams in South America and in nearby mountainous streams in Trinidad. Due to dispersal barriers, guppies can be found in pools below waterfalls with high predation risk, or pools above waterfalls with low predation risk. 33 33
Evolution of Coloration in Guppies 34 34
Selection on Color in Guppies High predation environment - Males exhibit drab coloration and tend to be relatively small and reproduce at a younger age. Low predation environment - Males display bright coloration, a larger number of spots, and tend to be more successful at defending territories. In the absence of predators, larger, more colorful fish may produce more offspring. 35 35
Evolutionary Change in Spot Number 36 36
Limits to Selection Genes have multiple effects pleiotropy Evolution requires genetic variation Intense selection may remove variation from a population at a rate greater than mutation can replenish. thoroughbred horses Gene interactions affect allelic fitness epistatic interactions 37 37
