A cladogram is a theoretical evolutionary tree made using cladistics.– A clade is a group of species that are thought to
share a common ancestor.
– Each species in a clade shares some traits with the ancestor.
– Each species in a clade has traits that have changed.

1. Natural Selection:1. Natural Selection: Affects variation in a population as the better adapted (more fit) individuals survive and reproduce, passing on their genes to the successive generations.
Acts only upon an organism’s phenotype (its physical characteristics).
If the phenotype is better suited for a changing environment, the individual can survive and pass on its genes.

2. Gene Flow:2. Gene Flow: Is the movement of alleles into or out of a population (immigration or emigration).
Gene flow can introduce new alleles into a gene pool or can change allele frequencies.
The overall effect of gene flow is to counteract natural selection by creating less differences between populations.
Example: Plant pollen being blown into a new area

3. Genetic Drift3. Genetic Drift The change in allele frequencies as a result of chance processes.
These changes are much more pronounced in small populations.

Examples of Genetic DriftExamples of Genetic Drift A) The Founder Effect:
Small population that branches off from a larger one may or may not be genetically representative of the larger population from which it was derived.
Only a fraction of the total genetic diversity of the original gene pool is represented in these few individuals.

Examples of Genetic DriftExamples of Genetic Drift B) Population Bottleneck:
Occurs when a population undergoes an event in which a significant percentage of a population is killed or otherwise prevented from reproducing.
B) Population Bottleneck: Occurs when a population undergoes an event in which a significant percentage of a population is killed or otherwise prevented from reproducing.
•The event may eliminate alleles entirely or also cause other alleles to be over-represented in a gene pool.

4. Mutations:4. Mutations: Are inheritable changes in the genotype (genes).
Provide the variation that can be acted upon by natural selection.
Mutations provide the raw material on which natural selection can act.

5. Non-Random Mating:5. Non-Random Mating: In animals, non-random mating can change allele frequencies as the choice of mates is often an important part of behavior.
Many plants self-pollinate, which is also a form of non-random mating (inbreeding).
