| UNIT TITLE: Evolution ***All Cornell-format notes are to be written in your Interactive Notebook. CLICK for information. Check off assignments as you complete them. Remember to label and date all pages in your Interactive Notebook. STANDARDS: 7 a to d * The frequency of an allele in a gene pool of a population depends on many factors and may be stable or unstable over time. As a basis for understanding this concept, students will know... a) why natural selection acts on the phenotype rather than genotype of an organism. b) why alleles that are lethal in a homozygous individual may be carried in a heterozygote and thus maintained in a gene pool. c) new mutations are constantly being generated in a gene pool. d) variation within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive under changed environmental conditions. |
