Prerequiste Learning Outcomes
    What the student is assumed to know before learning this outcome.
  • Comprehend the basic principles of population and quantitative genetics, and give examples of their application to real biological systems. [BIOL 2030]
  • Define and explain the four evolutionary forces, mutation, selection, drift and migration. [BIOL 2040]
  • Explain the basic process of evolution by natural selection (following from what are sometimes called Darwin's postulates). [BIOL 2040]
  • Predict the effects of each evolutionary force on allele and genotype frequencies in a given situation and for combinations of two evolutionary forces (calculate the change for simple situations – qualitative predictions for situations involving two evolutionary forces. [BIOL 2040]
