Mechanisms of Evolution 101 

Tutorial video over the four mechanisms of evolution including natural selection, mutation, genetic drift and gene flow. We discuss all four topics in detail and provide graphics and examples to help with better understanding. A check for understanding is included at the end as well. Video notes, an interactive review, and a top quiz are included in the description below. Don't forget to like and subscribe and check us out on our website at www.fathersoninnovations.com.

02:33 - Slide 3
02:54 - Natural Selection - Process by which organisms that are most suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully (Survival of the Fittest)
05:15 - Natural Selection in Peppered Moths
05:51 - Genetic Drift - random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurrences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population
08:15 - Genetic drift recap
10:12 - Mutation - change in the genetic material of a cell (leads to new alleles in a population)
