Full Description

This exam emphasizes the theoretical foundations of population genetics, exploring the mechanisms that drive evolutionary change. Students will analyze gene pools, allele frequencies, and the effects of selection pressures.

Population genetics serves as a cornerstone for understanding species evolution and ecosystem dynamics. Its principles are integral in fields such as conservation biology, informing strategies for the preservation of genetic diversity within endangered species.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate population genetic concepts, demonstrate understanding of mathematical models, and apply these ideas to empirical data.

Participating in discussions that focus on current case studies in population genetics will enhance a student's ability to connect theory with practice.

Sample Questions

  • What factors influence changes in allele frequencies within a population?
  • How can population genetics inform conservation efforts for endangered species?
