Gene flow: the movement of alleles between populations.
• Gene flow occurs when individuals join new populations and reproduce.
• Lots of gene flow: similar populations
• Limited gene flow: higher chance of new species
![Page 8: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Genetic drift: change in allele frequencies due to chance.
• Genetic drift: small populations more affected
a. Bottleneck effect – occurs when an event
drastically reducespopulation size.
![Page 9: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Example: In the 1800’s, northern elephant seals were overhunted. The population was reduced to about 20 individuals. Hunting has ended, and there are now about 100,000 seals. However, the population has little genetic variation.

B. Founder effect: genetic drift that occurs after start of new population
![Page 11: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Genetic drift has negative effects on a population.
– less likely to have some individuals that can adapt
– harmful alleles can become more common
![Page 12: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sexual Selection: occurs when certain traits increase mating success.
• How? Females prefer males that possess certain traits.
![Page 13: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• There are two types of sexual selection.
– intrasexual selection: competition among males– intersexual selection: males display certain traits
to females
![Page 15: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Reproductive isolation: can occur between isolated populations.
– members of different populations cannot mate successfully
• Speciation is the rise of two or more species from one existing species.
![Page 16: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reproductive isolation can be caused by
1. Geographic isolation
• physical barriers divide population
![Page 17: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Geographic isolation
![Page 18: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Temporal isolation
• timing of reproductive periods prevents mating
![Page 19: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Behavioral isolation
• includes differences in courtship or mating behaviors
Example: female fireflies only respond to light patterns of males of their own species

History of Life
![Page 21: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Fossils can form in several ways. • Permineralization occurs when minerals carried
by water are deposited around a hard structure.
![Page 22: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Trace fossils record the activity of an organism.
![Page 23: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Amber-preserved fossils are organisms that become trapped in tree resin that hardens after the tree is buried.
![Page 24: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Preserved remains form when an entire organism becomes encased in material such as ice.
![Page 25: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Specific conditions are needed for fossilization.
• Only a tiny percentage of living things became fossils.

PETRIFIED WOOD – These trees thrived in a sub tropical forest ecosystem 180-220 million of years ago. When they fell they were covered by volcanic ash that seeped into their cells. Over millions of
years the ash crystallized into a silica-quartz composite that gives it the “stone-like” quality.
Arizona - World’s largest collection of petrified wood

• Relative dating estimates the time during which an organism lived.– It compares the placement
of fossils in layers of rock.– Scientists infer the order in
which species existed.
![Page 28: Evolution of Populations. Five factors that can lead to evolution 1. Genetic drift.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649eb45503460f94bbcedb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Radiometric dating uses decay of unstable isotopes.– Isotopes are atoms of an element that differ in their
number of neutrons.

– A half-life is the amount of time it takes for half of the isotope to decay.
• Radiometric dating uses decay of unstable isotopes.
– Isotopes are atoms of an element that differ in their number of neutrons.

Several sets of hypotheses propose how
life began on Earth. • There are two organic molecule hypotheses.
– Miller-Urey experiment
– meteorite hypothesis
electrodes
heat source amino acids
water
“atmosphere”
“ocean”

Microbes have changed the physical and chemical composition of Earth. • The oldest known fossils are a group of marine
cyanobacteria. – prokaryotic cells– added oxygen to
atmosphere– deposited minerals

Eukaryotic cells may have evolved through endosymbiosis.
• Endosymbiosis is a relationship in which one organism lives within the body of another.
• Mitochondria and chloroplasts may have developed through endosymbiosis.
