Your post: 1-2 pages, single-spaced.

Citations: You need to cite course materials in your post but there is no need to attach a bibliography. Do NOT quote materials–paraphrase only. Its good practice!!! I expect to see reference to all of the materials mentioned here, and then some!!

USE COURSE MATERIALS ONLY

TOPIC:

Use my Week 4 lecture: Genes and Their Evolution and Chs 3 and 4 of the textbook.

Address each question separately.

1. What is natural selection? What are the roles of phenotype, environment, and inheritance in natural selection? Provide citations to both the chapters and lecture (pg numbers, lecture and slide).

2. How do bottlenecks and Founder effect contribute to the process of natural selection? Provide citations to both the chapters and lecture (pg numbers, lecture and slide).

Do not use the terms “strong” or “weak”. We are simply talking about adaptation here.

NOTE: LECTURE IS KEY SO REVIEW IT AND TAKE GREAT NOTES!

Do not use any quotes in your post. Paraphrase only.

Will provide links to textbook and lecture.
