Chapter 13 Guided Reading 2 (Read pages 264-273)1.) What is a population? 2.) Define microevolution.3.) Why do biologists studying evolution measure changes in the gene pool?4.) List 5 characteristics of a population that is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.5.) The Hardy Weinberg equation is used to determine whether a population is evolving and uses the symbols “p” and “q.” What are “p” and “q?”6.) If you are given “p” can you find “q?” How?7.) If you know both “p” and “q” how can you calculate the frequency of heterozygotes in the population?8.) If the only information you have is that 20 out of 500 blue footed boobies have webbed feet (homozygous recessive), can you figure out how many blue-footed boobies in this population are homozygous for non-webbed feet? How?9.) How does natural selection lead to microevolution?10.) Differentiate between the bottleneck effect and the founder effect.11.) Describe the following:a. Stabilizing selectionb. Directional selectionc. Disruptive selectiond. Sexual selectione. Balancing selectionf. Frequency dependent
