shut down. In fact‚ the entire world would come to a grinding halt. The lives of everyday people are intrinsically and irrevocably intertwined with technology‚ and for good reason. Technology has allowed humankind to progress. Through a sort of coevolution‚ humans and technology have helped each other to advance and become what they are today. As a society‚ humankind has developed from using sharpened sticks as weapons of war to AK-47s‚ and from printing presses as ways to spread news to Facebook

Niche construction theory is defined as‚ “The building and destroying of niches by organisms and the mutual interactions between organisms and environments.” The overall construction behind this theory is that organisms inherit the ecologies that they are born into. For example‚ the building of a city changes the overall ecology. Therefore‚ children that are born into these environments inherit ecological changes that come along with it. Some of these changes include the amount of people they are

and decrease abundance. Such limitation may be desirable in the case of pest species‚ or undesirable to some individuals as with game animals or endangered species. Predation may also act as a major selective force. The effects of predator prey coevolution can explain many evolutionary adaptations in both predator and prey species. The effects of wolf predation on species of large ungulates have proven to be controversial and elusive. There have been many different models proposed to describe the

Evolution Test Notes Giulia Palazzo • THE HARDY- WEINBERG PRINCIPLE: - a mathematical equation created to predict genotype and phenotype frequencies in a population that is not experiencing any selective pressure‚ if model fails evolution must be occurring - Under Mendel’s model‚ the two alleles can be represented by... p + q = 1 (100% of the alleles in the population) where p is the dominant allele and q is the recessive allele - The genotypes can be represented by the equation (p+q)² = p² + 2pq
