Pages: 47This study guide covers materials from lectures 23-39. The topics covered include genealogies, genetic variation, molecular evolution, natural selection in the wild, natural selection adaptation, adaptation, sexual selection, speciation, human evolution, macroevolution, human evolution and disease, microbes, the deadly 1918 flu virus, and behavioral evolution. -
Pages: 3In our final lecture today we finished our discussion over behavioral evolution by discussing the four types of social interactions focussing on an example of possible altruistic interactions among prairie dog alarm calling. We then finished lecture by discussing various suggestions to improve the course. -
-
Pages: 4In lecture today we had a guest lecturer discuss the facts about the evolution of the flu virus focussing mostly on the deadly H1N1 flu of 1918. -
Pages: 4In lecture today we had a guest speaker discuss microbes and the evolution of the life on Earth shown through the changing Universal Tree of Life. -
Pages: 6In lecture today we discussed the evolution of the Influenza virus. We then discussed antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. -
Pages: 6In lecture today we discussed the evolution that has occurred since the beginning of the Earth. We also discussed the 5 mass extinctions. -
Pages: 8In lecture today we discussed hominin evolution starting with our MRCA (chimps and bonobos) and then to the "3 out of Africa" waves. We ended lecture discussing Neanderthals and how we are using their fossils to test their mitochondrial DNA. -
-
Pages: 5In lecture today we finished our discussion over sexual selection and began our discussion over speciation. -
Pages: 6In lecture today we continued our discussion about sexual selection by discussing various types of sex and the effects each type has on the variance of mating success and sexual selection. -
Pages: 8In class today we finished our discussion over adaptation by discussing how certain genes can determine forelimb presence and absence as well as their size. We then began our discussion over sexual selection by defining sex in the asexual form and sexual form and then we finished lecture discussing male and female's roles in reproduction. -
Pages: 6In lecture today we finished our discussion about Maize, Teosinte and the cross to produce a hybrid. We then began our discussion about adaptation. -
Pages: 3In lecture we discussed natural selection through two case study examples. The first case study was over lactase persistence and the other about teosinte and maize. -
Pages: 4In lecture we discussed four case studies that showed different examples of natural selection in the wild. -
Pages: 26This study guide covers topics covered from lectures 13 to 23. These topics include genome sequencing and physical maps, phylogenies, the equilibrium population, mutations, genetic drift, selection, migration and non-random mating,quantitative genetics and evolution, and genealogies, genetic variation and molecular evolution. -
Pages: 4In lecture today we discussed coalescence and how we can use coalescence in determining lineages. -
Pages: 4In lecture today we first finished our discussion over DNA sequence variation. Next we learned about the Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution, and then we finished by briefly touching on coalescent and gene trees. -
Pages: 4In lecture today we finished our discussion over quantitative genetics by discussing a case study about differing coat colors in field mice. We then began our discussion over genealogies by discussing how to determine genetic variations. -
Pages: 5In class today we finished our discussion over quantitative genetics by discussing narrow-sense heritability and some examples of it. We then began our discussion quantitative trait locus analysis. -
Pages: 6In class today we first finished our discussion over migration and drift. Next we began our discussion of quantitative genetics and heritability. -
Pages: 5In lecture today we first finished our discussion over heterozygous advantage. Next we discussed the effects of population size on genetics and then we finished lecture discussing migration. -
Pages: 5In class we discussed migration and how it relates to new frequency alleles. We then did examples of calculations to find new frequency alleles. We ended lecture by discussing heterozygous advantage. -
Pages: 6In lecture today we first finished our discussion on mutations and their effects on the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. We then discussed Genetic drift and how population size changes the likelihood of genetic drift. -
Pages: 7In lecture we discussed various ways that mutations occur in genomes.
