Preview - Evolution Of Populations To Speciation (Advanced)

Performing an investigation using the model

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Write a question about genetic drift in the pocket mice population which can be answered using this model.

An example of such question would be, 'how does population size affect the extinction of an allele from the population?' or 'is it more or less likely for a recessive allele to go extinct as compared with a dominant allele?'

Based on your exploration of the model, guess an answer to your question and state it in the form of a testable statement (hypothesis) - something that you can test using the model.

Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Explain your design.

Perform the experiment. Describe your observations and explain whether those support your hypothesis or not.
