Mutations, sexual reproduction:Random genetic drift - through chance only some of the population survives to reproduce through chance-Genetic drift has greater effect on small populations because of the smaller gene poolNatural Selection - alleles producing advantageous traits over other alleles survive to reproduceHexapods -non insect hexapods-Insecta-apterygota (a=no, pterygota=wings)-pterygotaThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
