- - - - Dominance
      - Segregation
      - Independent Assortment
    - - Each individual has a unique genotype
      - Genotype is made up of alleles
      - Phenotypes determined by these alleles (and the environment)
      - There is no guarantee that an allele will manifest
        
        Heterozygosity
        
        One of 2 genes (dominant allele) has a detectable effect on an organism's appearance
        
        The other gene has no discernable effect (recessive allele)
      - Homozygosity, both alleles are the same
    - - Alleles are segregated, separated, from one another during meiosis
      - Each gamete contains only one allele for each gene
      - Offspring inherit 2 alleles for a gene
        
        One from each parent
        
        Inherit a homologous chromosome
      - During meiosis, 2 members of a gene pair separate from each other
      - Each gamete has an equal chance to inherit either one of the genes
    - - Visual representation of the offspring inheritance patterns
      - Monohybrid is a cross between 2 homozygous parents with different alleles.
      - Punnett square
    - - Gene pairs that are not related (homologs) segregate independently
      - Gene pairs that are not linked segregate independently
      - Evidence provided from a dihybrid cross

        Allele combinations
  - - - Each chromosome has a partner
      - Homologous chromosomes
      - Resemble each other in size, shape & hereditary information
      - Each homolog is from a different parent
      - Interactions of genes on each sets of chromosomes determines the genetic characteristics
    - - During Metaphase II
        
        Orientation of sister chromatids is random
      - In general, the possibilities are 2n
        
        Ex: human with 46 chromosomes
        
        246 = 7.04 x 1013
      - During Metaphase I
        
        Orientation of bivalents is random
    - - During Prophase I
      - Synaptonemal complex forms
      - Mixes the genes present in homologous chromosomes
      - Results in new combinations not present in the chromosomes of the parental cells
      - Usually at least one chiasma occurs between every pair of homologous chromosomes
    - - Promotes heterozygosity
      - Advantages include
        
        genetic diversity
        
        Bet-hedging to novel environments
        
        Multiple deleterious alleles can be bunched together and eliminated
        
        Escape host-parasite negative impacts

      - Chromosome inherited same as parent
      - Only 2 gamete types possible rather than 4
    - - Multiple genes for one character

      - Polymorph = many phenotypes in a population
      - Example: Aquilegia
      - Color variation
      - Spur-length variation
      - Can be due to a single nucleotide polymorphism
    - - Random loss of alleles
      - Acts most strongly in small populations relative to large

      - In this example, 2 (triangle) has more vigorous offspring
      - Over time, individuals with the 2 genotype are able to reproduce more and grow in numbers

    - - Death does not mean natural selection has occurred
      - Differential survival
      - Survival due to phenotypes that are heritable
        
        Phenotype coded by genotype
    - - Within a population there is allelic variation arising from various factors such as mutations causing differences in DNA sequences
      - Distinct alleles may encode proteins of differing functions
      - Some alleles may encode proteins that enhance an individual’s survival or reproductive capacity
      - Individuals with beneficial alleles are more likely to survive and reproduce
      - Over the course of many generations, allele frequencies of many different genes may change through natural selection
      - This significantly alters the characteristics of a species
  - - - All of the alleles of every gene in a population make up the gene pool
      - A population is a group of individuals of the same species that occupy the same region and can interbreed with each other
    - - Allele frequency
        
        Number of copies of an allele in a population divided by the total number of alleles for that gene in a population
      - Genotype frequency

      - Divided by
      - The total number of all alleles for that gene in a population
    - - predicts an equilibrium-unchanging allele and genotype frequencies from generation to generation-if certain conditions exist in a population
      - No new mutations
        
        No genetic drift. The population is so large allele frequencies do not change due to random sampling effects
        
        No migration

      - 23 rr
- - - - To predict if a population will grow or shrink, ecologists need to know birth and death rates for organisms at different ages as well as the current age and sex makeup of the population.
      - Life tables summarize birth and death rates for organisms at different stages of their lives.
      - Population age structure—Are there lots of: young individuals? Old individuals? Reproductive age individuals?; and similar questions
      - Population growth rate—How fast is the population size growing (or shrinking)? Population survivorship patterns—Does most mortality occur in the very young? The very old? Or equally across all ages?
    - - x = age
      - Nx= number of individuals alive at age x
      - Sx= proportion of individuals of age x that survive to age x+1;

    - - Calculate the net reproductive rate (R0)
      - Calculated by taking the sum of the offspring/individual column.
      - Represents the expected number of offspring an individual will produce over its lifetime in the population.
        
        If R0>1, the population size increases.
        
        If R0<1, the population size decreases, and
        
        if R0=1, then population size does not change.
    - - Calculate the mean generation time (G)
      - Calculated by taking the sum of the Age-weighted fecundity column and then dividing by the net reproductive rate
      - Represents average time between two consecutive generations in the lineage of a cohort
      - The average age between parent and offspring
      - For humans, typically 20-35 years of age
    - - Calculate the intrinsic growth rate (r)
      - Calculated by taking the natural log of the net reproductive rate divided by the mean generation time.
        
        If r>0, the population size increases.
        
        If r<0, the population size decreases, and
        
        if r=1, then population size does not change.

      - Can similar model predator-prey growth and the impact each has on the other
    - - At low prey and predator population sizes, prey increase exponentially
      - As more food for predators is available, predator survival and reproductive success increases, resulting in predator population growth following that of their prey
      - As predator populations increase, prey death rate exceeds birth rate, resulting in prey decline
      - As prey number declines, there is not enough food to sustain a high predator population and thus predator death rate exceeds that of birth rate
