iThis is a guide. You will find it very helpful‚ but it does not contain everything that has been covered and could be asked on the exam. I can and will pull questions out of the textbook‚ so make sure you’ve been reading. Go back through the homework assignments and feel free to use the practice tests on Mastering Biology as well.

allelic frequencies that occur from generation to generation. There are three ways that microevolution can occur: mutation‚ genetic drift and natural selection. Mutation is the change in a gene of the DNA of an organism. This may change an allele and possibly the alleles frequency in the gene pool of the population. Genetic drift is an unpredictable change in a populations allelic frequencies from generation to generation. Genetic drift is also a change by chance. An example is the founder affect‚ in which

describe genetic differences among members of a population". Mutations occur when new genetic information is introduced to a population within a species and modify the alleles that currently exist. Some mutations can be harmful to one species and not affect the other. For example‚ if an insect is a carrier of a disease causing allele‚ the insect can transmit this disease to a human if stung. Initially‚ it may just be a few insects that are troublesome. Over time‚ mutations can occur that enable a significant

Unit 3 - Evolution Notes Evolution involves change over time....from a biology standpoint evolution looks at how organisms change over long periods of time over many generations and hundreds of thousands of years. Source of Genetic Change Mutations are the source of genetic change * Neutral mutations - do not seem to benefit or harm the organism * Harmful mutations - negatively affect the life of organisms * Beneficial mutations - positively affect the life of organisms Artificial

the essential proteins in the body. During sexual reproduction these genes found on coiled bands of DNA that are passed down randomly the mother and father. This genetic evidence differs not only in the mixture and comparison of a gene‚ known as an allele‚ but also it is found on the mixture of sex chromosomes creating either male or female species. Sex-linked genes differ based on the chromosomes given: males given an X Y chromosome while a female given an X chromosome from the mother and the other

Tay-Sachs Disease Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder first discovered in 1881. It is a disease that is found in many populations‚ but commonly affects the populations of the Ashkenazi Jews. The disorder is caused when there is an absence of enzyme called beta hexosaminase A that is found on chromosome 15. The most common mutation occurs in mostly 80 percent of Tay-Sachs patients is the four base pair addition (TATC) on exon 11 and a G to C inversion

He discovered this through his experimentation of breeding pea plants. This idea later contributes to how sickle cell disease can be later is passed down throughout the generations.
