Full Description
This exam emphasizes the molecular basis of genetic variation, examining processes such as mutation, recombination, and gene flow. The relationship between genetic variation and evolutionary principles is a key focus area.
Understanding genetic variation is foundational for evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, and population dynamics. It informs our approach to biodiversity, species conservation, and the adaptive potential of organisms.
Students will be evaluated based on their ability to discuss sources of genetic variation, mechanisms of evolution, and the implications for species adaptation and survival.
Through verbal articulation, students will demonstrate their grasp of how molecular processes contribute to evolutionary change.
Sample Questions
- How do mutations contribute to genetic diversity within a population?
- What is the significance of recombination in the process of evolution?
