Objectives

• Identify sources of genetic variation
• Describe how natural selection acts on the distribution of traits in a population
• Explain how gene flow, genetic drift and sexual selection can lead to the evolution of populations
• Identify the conditions that define Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
• Describe how populations can become isolated
• Explain how isolation of populations can lead to speciation
