The Genetic Basis of Evolution:
Click on this link to read about the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Then click the “Next Topic” button at the bottom of the page and read about the next 6 topics:
- Mutations
- Natural Selection
- Small Population Size Effects (Genetic Drift, Founder Principle, Bottleneck Effect)
- Gene Flow
- Recombination
- Non-random Mating
Choose a real-world example of one of these 6 mechanisms in nature that causes evolution to occur. Find a good website that illustrates your example and present it to your classmates. Explain your example in the context of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.
Be sure to cite your source and include a link or copy/paste a direct quotation from the most relevant portion of the source to enable your classmates to view and evaluate the information.
