Question
Remember that understanding is
explanations more than facts.
Definitions of phenotype, genotype, allele, gene, microevolution, macroevolution
Know that in humans, most of the genetic variation is observed within populations, and
know why that is.
Know the 4 processes of evolution (3 neutral + natural selection)
Know that evolution isn't progressive and doesn't necessarily lead to more complexity
Know that evolution can lead to traits that decrease survival (ex: sexual selection)
Know that quantitative traits are generally influenced by (i) many genes, each having a
small effect on the trait value; and (ii) the environment
What is F1 like when you cross 2 homozygotic lines of peas of different colors?
What is F2 like when you cross F1 individuals (remember what 9:3:3:1 is about)
Know what genetic dominance is about
Definitions of chromosome, nucleus, mitosis, meiosis, crossing over
How many chromosomes in humans? How many pairs of chromosomes?
Know and apply Hardy-Weinberg's equation
Why do quantitative traits often have a bell-shaped distribution?
Definition of neutral processes vs natural selection
Effect of all 3 neutral processes on within/between group diversity
Know how population size affects (or not) drift and mutation
Balance between drift and mutation
Effect of geographic distance on genetic differentiation
Know the Kingdom, Class, Order, Family and Genus of Homo sapiens
Who were Wallace and Darwin?
Be able to explain natural selection (what 3 conditions need to be met for naturnl
selection to occur?)
