This document discusses factors that affect genetic variation and change in populations, including evolution, natural selection, mutations, migration, and genetic drift. It provides details on each factor and how they influence allele frequencies in a gene pool over multiple generations, leading to evolution and potentially new species. Examples are given to illustrate concepts like founder effects and bottleneck effects on small populations.
It is the fundamental law of population genetics and provides the basis for studying Mendelian populations ( Mendelian population: A group of sexually inbreeding organisms living within a circumscribed area). It describes populations that are not evolving.

According to Hardy (England,1908) and Weinberg (Germany,1909), gene and genotype frequency of a Mendelian population remain constant generation after generation unless there is selection,mutation,migration or random drift.

The Hardy–Weinberg principle, also known as the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, model, theorem or law.
States that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.
These influences include mate choice, mutation, selection, genetic drift, gene flow and meiotic drive.
Because one or more of these influences are typically present in real populations, the Hardy–Weinberg principle describes an ideal condition against which the effects of these influences can be analyzed.

Inheritance due to genes located in cytoplasm is called cytoplasmic inheritance.
Since genes governing traits showing cytoplasmic inheritance are located outside the nucleus and in the cytoplasm, they are referred to as plasmagenes.
It is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about the lesson or topic: Non-Mendelian Inheritance. It also talks about the definition, history and the laws included in the Non-Mendelian Inheritance or Non-Mendelian Genetics.

Solution
11. Adaptive radiation: Adaptive radiation is when a species diversify to many different species
from one ancestral species when there is a change in the environment. Change in environment
would be when they are exposed to a different environment like in this case, to a new land.
Change in the environment presents new challenges and advantages in term of resources,
climate, predators etc. Such changes force a species to evolve to adapt.
12. Mutation: Mutation is change in the genetic code which can occur due to many reasons
which change the basic DNA code as compared to what the parent cell has. Mutation can give
the cell new characteristics or even hamper basic functions of a cell or an organism. Hence,
mutation is the only source of change in alleles
Genetic drift can happen only with mutation. Gene flow is basically the inheritance of genes
from the parents to offspring. Genetic polymorphism does not guarantee change in phenotype,
hence not change in alleles. Natural selection is basically survival of the fittest.
13. Stabilizing selection : It is when for a particular trait, the genetic diversity decreases and the
population mean stabilizes. It is assumed to be the most common type of natural selection. When
it comes to phenotypes it supports the intermediate variations.
Human babies who are underweight are susceptible to diseases and lose heat more quickly and
have high mortality rate and similarly for the babies with more than normal weight, which are
difficult to deliver..

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Factors affecting allele frequency
in a gene pool
1. Evolution
2. Natural selection
3. Mutations
4. Migration
5. Genetic drift
a. Founder effect
b. Bottleneck
effect.
3. Genetic Change:
Gene pool is the total number of alleles present in a
population.
Genetic change is the change in frequency of alleles
in the gene pool of a population.
The processes of mutation, natural
selection, migration and genetic drift all affect
the gene pool and change the frequency of the
alleles in that gene pool.
Frequency of an allele = occurrence of allele _
total number of alleles
4. 1. Evolution:
Is the process by which new species of
organisms develop from earlier forms.
Process normally occurs slowly.
Most often in response to a change in a
species’ environment.
It is changes in the frequency of the alleles in
a population (some alleles ‘do better’ than
others).
Evolution acts on populations (i.e. it is
populations that evolve, not individuals).
5. 2. Natural Selection
The theory of natural selection was proposed by
Charles Darwin over 150 years ago.
Populations typically produce more offspring than
environmental resources can maintain – there is a
competition for survival.
Individuals with the best adaptations survive and
reproduce (this is what is meant by fitness) and
pass their successful alleles onto their offspring.
The frequency of these successful alleles will then
increase in the gene pool.
6. Environmental factors (both biotic and abiotic)
act as selecting agents of phenotypes.
When environmental factors change, different
phenotypes will be selected for.
As phenotype is largely determined by
genotype, successful genotype alleles will
increase in frequency in the gene pool.
7. Favourable alleles increase in frequency in a
gene pool, while unfavourable alleles decrease.
If the frequency of alleles changes, evolution is
occurring.
After a certain number of generations, the
frequency of alleles and phenotypes might
change so markedly that the population becomes
reproductively isolated from others of that
species.
It is now a new species.

9. 3. Mutations:
Are the source of new alleles in the gene pool –
mutations are essential for evolution.
If a mutation occurs in the gamete-producing
cells during DNA replication for meiosis and
that gamete is fertilised, then the mutation will
enter the gene pool.
Any mutation that enters a gene pool is acted
upon by natural selection.
10. Alleles resulting from unfavourable mutations are
selected against, and only remain in the gene
pool if they are recessive (remain ‘hidden’ in
heterozygotes).
Neutral or ‘silent’ mutations (neither favourable
nor unfavourable) are not acted upon by
selection.
The frequency of these mutated alleles in the
gene pool will be due to chance.
Eg. a change in a base code (GGG to GGC) that
codes for the same amino acid. The same protein
is made - no change results from this mutation.
11. 4. Migration
Migration is the movement of individuals from
one population to another.
Immigration = individuals migrate into a
population.
Emigration = individuals migrate out of a
population.
12. Both processes allow for gene flow between
populations.
Gene flow may change the frequency and/or the
range of alleles in the populations.
If populations are large, migration may have little
or no effect on allele frequency.
However, if populations are small, migration may
have a big impact on allele frequency.
13. Emigration may remove alleles from a
population, reducing a population’s
genetic diversity.

Population after emigrants
have left – frequency of
Emigrants leaving original allele A is greatly reduced
population in the gene pool.
14. Immigration may add new alleles to a
population, increasing a population’s
Aa aa
genetic diversity.
Original Population Immigrants
Final population after
immigrants arrive – frequency
of allele a is greatly increased
in the gene pool.
15. 5. Genetic Drift
Is the change in allele frequency due to
change (not selection), and may include
the loss of alleles from the gene pool.
Most likely to have an effect in small
populations.
16. When populations are large, mating is
random and the environment is stable (i.e. no
natural selection) – the frequency of alleles
tends to remain stable from generation to
generation.
However, when populations become
small, allele frequencies can
increase, decrease or even be completely loss
by change alone.
This has nothing to do with natural selection.
17. a. Founder effect:
Occurs when a small group of individuals
(founder population) colonises a geographically
isolated area such as an island.
The range and frequency of alleles in this small
group are unlikely to be representative of those
of the original population – alleles may not be
present or may be more or less frequent.
18. Likely to be more pronounced in a founder
population.
Evolution is likely to occur at a faster rate
than in the original or other populations.
In extreme cases, a founder population
may be a single individual (e.g. a
windblown seed).
19. Many species arrived in NZ in small numbers by
chance (e.g. birds such as silvereye, white-faced
heron, spur winged plover).
Or through introduction by humans (e.g.
chamois, tahr).
They therefore have the potential to become quite
different from the original populations and their
evolution is likely to progress faster as natural
selection by the different environment occurs.
20. b. Bottleneck effect:
Populations may be suddenly reduced in
numbers.
Usually from a catastrophic environmental event
(e.g. fire, flood, landslide, or drought).
Or by sudden, severe selection pressure (often
human activities, e.g. rapid habitat
destruction, introduction of predators/
competitors).
After the event, the populations may recover to
grow again to return to normal levels.
21. As population numbers drop rapidly, it is likely
that the range of alleles decreases and the
frequency of alleles changes.
When small, the population is more subject to
genetic drift.
When the population increases, it is likely that it
will have reduced genetic diversity.
