**Understanding Evolution and Genetics: Key Concepts**- **Definitions:** - Phenotype, genotype, allele, gene, microevolution, macroevolution- **Genetic Variation:** - Understand that in humans, most genetic variation is observed within populations, and know why this occurs.- **Processes of Evolution:** - Know the four processes of evolution, including three neutral processes and natural selection.- **Complexity in Evolution:** - Recognize that evolution isn’t progressive and doesn’t necessarily lead to increased complexity.- **Traits and Survival:** - Be aware that evolution can lead to traits that decrease survival, such as those influenced by sexual selection.- **Quantitative Traits:** - Know that these traits are generally influenced by (i) many genes, each having a small effect on the trait value, and (ii) the environment.- **F1 and F2 Generations:** - Understand what F1 generation is like when you cross two homozygotic lines of peas of different colors. - Understand what F2 generation is like when you cross F1 individuals, and remember the 9:3:3:1 ratio.- **Genetic Dominance:** - Know what genetic dominance is about.- **Definitions in Genetics:** - Chromosome, nucleus, mitosis, meiosis, and crossing over.- **Human Chromosomes:** - Know how many chromosomes humans have, and how many pairs.- **Hardy-Weinberg Equation:** - Know and apply this equation.- **Distribution of Traits:** - Understand why quantitative traits often have a bell-shaped distribution.- **Natural vs. Neutral Processes:** - Definition and effects on genetic diversity.- **Population Size:** - How it affects or does not affect genetic variation.- **Drift and Mutation:** - Understanding the balance between these forces.- **Geographic Distance:** - Know its effect on genetic differentiation.- **Taxonomy:** - Know the Kingdom, Class, Order, Family, and Genus of Homo sapiens.- **Historical Figures:** - Who were Wallace and Darwin?- **Natural Selection:** - Be able to explain natural selection and the conditions needed for it to occur.
