Prerequiste Learning Outcomes
    What the student is assumed to know before learning this outcome.
  • Define Mendel’s two laws of heredity that explain the transmission of traits from one generation to the next [BIOL 1010] [BIOL 1030]
  • Define and explain the four evolutionary forces, mutation, selection, drift and migration. [BIOL 2040]
  • Define gene flow and genetic drift (and founder effect) and explain how they influence allele frequencies in populations [BIOL 1010]
  • Explain how complex genetic systems lead to modifications of the basic principles of Mendelian inheritance. [BIOL 2030]
  • Explain the basic process of evolution by natural selection (following from what are sometimes called Darwin's postulates). [BIOL 2040]
  • Explain the concept of heritability in terms of the genetic vs. environmental variance for a trait [BIOL 2040]
  • Express the concepts of evolution as changes in allele frequencies and the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
  • Use the Hardy-Weinberg principle to calculate expected genotype and allele frequencies (1 Locus, 2 Alleles) [BIOL 1010]
