Biological Evolution (407Z)

2018-09-06 15:24:52 |

This course contains two parts, the second is Biological Evolution.

 Aim   

       The aim of the course is to provide students with a deeper insight into the evolutionary processes. This course provides an overview of the mechanisms and processes of change at the population, organismal, cellular, and molecular levels.

Objectives

  1. Gain a fundamental understanding of the evolutionary processes within populations and species.
  2. To show how natural selection ultimately underpins all biological processes.
  3. Recognize selection, mutation, population genetics, and genetic drift as the forces to drive this process.

Learning outcomes

  • At the end of the course you should:
  1. Have an enhanced knowledge and appreciation of evolutionary biology
  2. understand that natural selection is one of several processes that can bring about evolution, although it can also promote stability rather than change
  3. understand that the four propositions underlying Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection are: (1) more individuals are produced than can survive; (2) there is therefore a struggle for existence; (3) individuals within a species show variation; and (4) offspring tend to inherit their parents’ characters
  4. explain the consequence of violating each of the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg law and explain when a population is in equilibrium.
  5. give examples of adaptation and of both allopatric and sympatric speciation.
