This study guide covers the four modules of Dr. Engler's 311D Bio Unit 1. The first module includes diagrams over mitosis and meiosis, compares and contrasts sexual and asexual reproduction, and covers the origin of genetic variation. The second one goes over Mendel's laws and their exceptions. Module 3 covers evolution, including Hardy weinberg problems and evolutionary forces that alter allele frequencies. Finally, the fourth covers natural selection, reproductive barriers, speciation, and mechanisms of evolution.

vocabulary
sexual reproduction -
2 parents give rise to Offspring that have unique combinations of genes inherited from the
2 parents
meiosis creates haploid from diploid cells
fertilization combines 2 haploid cells back to diploid
asexual reproduction a single individual passes genes to offspring wout fusion of gametes
-




genetic variation only arises from mutations (slow) ; beneficial in non-changing environment where clones are favored
a clone is a Identical individuals from same parent
group of genetically < produced
asexually (mitosis)
diploid contains 2 sets of chromosomes one from each parent (2n) 2 haploids unite during fertilization
