Study Questions
Summarize the process of evolution by natural selection in a series of steps.
Explain how evolution can occur without selection.
Explain how humans have contributed to evolution in non-human species through both artificial selection and natural selection.
Explain how deviation from Hardy-Weinberg conditions results in evolution.
Identify what is necessary for an adaptation to be passed to future generations.
Explain how the bottleneck effect and founder effect are examples of genetic drift
Make a prediction about the effect of gene flow on human evolution.
Identify limitations to the biological species concept.
Describe conditions that can lead to speciation.
Compare pre- and post- zygotic isolating mechanisms.
Explain why geographically isolated populations are likely to evolve into separate species over time.
Explain how speciation can occur in populations which are not geographically isolated.
