Evolution basics/reviewAAAaaaAllele "a" is additive or codominantAAAaHeterozygotes haveintermediate phenotypesaaAllele "a" is DominantAAAllele "a" is recessiveHeterozygotes have samephenotype as "aa" homozygotesAaaaHeterozygotes have samephenotype as "AA" homozygotesNOTE: This is NOT the same as advantageous or deleterious

Evolution basics/reviewAAaaAllele "a" is advantageousIf individuals with horns have highersurvival or reproduction thanhornless, the horn is advantageousand so is the allele that makes it.Allele "a" is deleteriousIf individuals with horns have lowersurvival or reproduction thanhornless, the horn is deleteriousand so is the allele that makes it.Allele "a" is neutralIf individuals with horns have thesame survival and reproduction ashornless, the horn is neutraland so is the allele that makes it.NOTE: This is NOT the same as dominant, additive or recessive.

Evolution basics/reviewAAaaAllele "a" is advantageousThey can fight predators.Females prefer it.Allele "a" is deleteriousNo predators and it costs energy to grow.Females don't like it.Allele "a" is neutralNo predators and it has negligible cost.Females don't care about it.The fitness of an allele can depend on the environment,many predators or none for example.

Suchalleles are said"to fix" over time.AaaaAAAaAAaaaaAaA population witha polymorphismaaaaaaA monomorphic populationwith a new adaptation

Evolution basics/reviewAAaaThe fate of a novel mutation:- Can be lost.- Can increase in frequency, become a polymorphism.- Can increase even more to fixation and become an adaptation.These outcomes can be driven by selection due to the fitnessof the allele or trait.These outcomes are also influenced by randomness, genetic drift.Fitness: average contribution to the gene pool of the next generationmade by a typical individual with the genotype or phenotype.Genetic drift: changes in allele or trait frequencydue to stochastic (random) effects.Since fitness is a statistical concept, genetic driftcan cause frequencies to change in oppositionto that expected from the fitness.

The alleles in the initial population werereplaced, generation by generation, by a new ones.We say that the population evolved, but even that is technically incorrect because thefinal population is completely different individuals - there is no single aAaaaaaaa

Evolution basics/reviewWARNING: common misconceptions about evolutionAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAAAAAAAIndividuals evolve- No, populations do (and even this thinking isn't perfect).aaAAAAaaaaAaAaAaaaaaaaMutations happen in order to provide needed adaptations.- Mutations occur, sometimes they lead to evolution/adaptation.How often mutations occur and how they changetraits is unrelated to utilitySelection favors traits because they improve populations- When this occurs it is a side-effect of selection on individuals,sometimes evolution actually make populations worse.Evolution always finds the optimal form- Since selection is short-sighted, improvements are usually made,but lack of foresight means better solutions may be missed.Evolution is perfect/unstoppable- Ask the dinosaurs that question.
