Sources
New Alleles
Microevolution
Mechanisms
Natural selection
Adaptive evolution
Genetic drift
Gene flow
Arise from
Mutation
Only gametes
Pass to offspring
Often harmless
Can be neutral
Harmful if
Protein change
Gene duplication

Harmful
Delete, disrupt or rearrange
Less harmful
Duplication
New functions
e.g Better sense of smell
Rapid Reproduction
