ABSTRACT The microevolution of Alu element TPA-25 was tested in the experiment through the examination‚ observation‚ and analysis of population alleles distribution under the Hardy-Weinberg Theory of Genetic Equilibrium. Alu elements affect the genome by causing insertion mutations‚ recombination between elements‚ gene conversion‚ and alterations in gene expression. In the lab PCR was used to amplify a short piece of DNA from human genome which allowed us to look for a DNA sequence called an Alu

Distinguish genetic drift from gene flow in terms of how they occur and their implications for future genetic variation in a population. Genetic drift‚ defined as the process in which chance events cause unpredictable fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to the next‚ can increase or decrease variability within particularly small populations. Certain genotype/phenotype frequencies‚ for example‚ may

The phenotypes were placed in two different environments‚ one in which contained a predator and another with no predator. Results of the experiment would show how the fitness of each phenotype is affected by providing a mechanism

Explain how the principle of gradualism and Charles Lyell’s theory of uniformitarianism influenced Darwin’s ideas about evolution. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals. The result of natural selection

Explain why negative externalities are an example of market failure? Market failure refers to the failure of the market to allocate resources efficiently. Market failure results in allocative inefficiency‚ where too much or too little of goods or services are produced and consumed from the point of view of what is socially most desirable. Hence when there are negative externalities caused during consumption and production‚ this causes a welfare loss further more causing market failure. Negative

Evolution Within a Gene Pool INTRODUCTION: The Hardy-Weinberg scheme is a way of viewing evolution as changes in the frequency of alleles in a population of organisms. If A and a are alleles for a particular gene and each individual has two alleles then p is the frequency of the A allele and q is the frequency of a alleles. The frequency of the possible diploid combinations is expressed in the equation p2+2pq+q2=1. In order for the Hardy-Weinberg equation to work five conditions must be met:
