- Identify the “Golden Nuggets”
- Both: affect outcome of a population.
- Natural selection
- When a species adapts to an environment
- Selective and fitness.
- Increases genetic variation.
- acts on the phenotype.
- more or less common in a population
- Genetic drift
- Depends on population size, and has the most
impact on smaller populations. Reduces genetic
variation. Depends on environment. (Random)
- Founder Effect
- comes from a small population, which is
originally bigger than the new population
- Bottleneck
- starts with a large population and is reduced down drastically then raised up.
