Objectives • Evaluate models that illustrate the origin of variation in a population.
Last time: What are the sources of genetic variation? What are the sources of new alleles and new combinations of alleles in a population of snails? Random mutation; Sexual reproduction; Crossing-over in meiosis; Gene flow.
Last time: Modeling the origin of variation In your groups: Model the origin of variation for one of the traits you observed in the snails. Make your model context-specific. • What structures should you include? • What is the function of this model? Turn in your work (one model per group)
