<strong>Lab</strong> 15: Populaon Genecs<br />

5. What can you say about the genec variaon between these populaons?<br />

Genec dri, the variaon of the gene pool and/or gene frequency of a populaon, can result from a<br />

variety of stochasc (random) means. Consider the following populaon of buerflies who have half<br />

of their habitat destroyed by wildfire:<br />

The remaining populaon has 50% of the inial gene pool (2 colors) and the gene frequency is different.<br />

As these individuals reproduce, their offspring will no longer reflect the original populaon.<br />
