Types of SelectionTypes of Selection
• There are 4 major types of natural selection, and 1 type caused by humans (artificial selection)– Stabilizing Selection– Directional Selection– Disruptive Selection– Sexual Selection– [Artificial Selection]

Stabilizing SelectionStabilizing Selection
• Eliminates individuals that have extreme or unusual traits
• Most common traits are the best adapted
• Individuals that differ are poorly adapted
• Maintains existing population frequencies of common traits
• Discourages species changes
• Example: Height variation in humans

Directional SelectionDirectional Selection
• Favors traits that are at one extreme of a range of traits
• Selects against traits at the other extreme
• Favored traits continue to become more extreme over many generations
• Examples: – Insecticide resistance – Antibiotic resistance in bacteria
![Page 6: Types of Selection and Sources of Variation IB Biology Evolution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081716/5514228e550346dd488b58ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Antibiotic Resistance ExampleAntibiotic Resistance Example
• Penicillin and other antibiotics are the chemical products of a living organism (fungus or another bacteria)…a product that cannot evolve
• The bacteria we fight with them are evolving, so a resistant bacteria passes on resistant genes to its offspring…now the antibiotic won’t work on the population
![Page 7: Types of Selection and Sources of Variation IB Biology Evolution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081716/5514228e550346dd488b58ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• How do bacteria develop resistance to an antibiotic?– Mutation in individual bacterium– Conjugation and the sharing of plasmid DNA
• What do we do that helps them evolve?– Overuse of antibiotics (lots of opportunity)– Improper use of antibiotics (incompletion of
regiment)

Disruptive SelectionDisruptive Selection
• Also called diversifying selection• Occurs when the environment favors
extreme or unusual traits• Selects against common traits• Example: weeds
– Tall weeds have advantage in wild (compete for sunlight better)
– Short weeds have advantage on lawns (lawn mowers)

Sexual SelectionSexual Selection
• Differential mating of males (sometimes females) in a population
• Females typically choose males carefully for their superior traits (quality)
• Male traits that increase their mating frequency have a selective advantage (quantity)
![Page 10: Types of Selection and Sources of Variation IB Biology Evolution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081716/5514228e550346dd488b58ba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sexual SelectionSexual Selection• Two types:• Male Competition: leads to contests of
strength that award mating opportunities to the strongest males– Evolution of antlers, horns, large stature, etc.
• Female Choice: leads to traits or behaviors in males that are attractive to females– Colorful bird plumage (peacock), mating
rituals/dances

Artificial SelectionArtificial Selection
• A form of directional selection carried out by humans when they sow seeds or breed animals that possess desirable traits.
• Examples:– Various dog breeds selected for a variety of
traits that may not confer advantages in the wild
– Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower have all originated from a single species of wild mustard

Sources of VariationSources of Variation
• Mutations – raw material for new variation, can invent alleles that haven’t existed
• Sexual Reproduction – new combinations– crossing over– independent assortment of alleles– Random joining of gametes in fertilization
• Diploidy (polyploidy) – 2 or more alleles for each gene
• Outbreeding – mating w/ unrelated partners

Sources of VariationSources of Variation• Transient Polymorphism – temporary
changes in allelic frequencies due to some environmental change
• Balanced Polymorphism – the maintenance of different phenotypes in a population– Alleles for advantageous traits increase in
frequency in a population…so…– Why do we still have phenotypes in our
population that are not the best adapted to our environment?
![Page 15: Types of Selection and Sources of Variation IB Biology Evolution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081716/5514228e550346dd488b58ba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Transient PolymorphismTransient Polymorphism• Peppered Moth Example: Industrial
Melanism (Kettlewell)• 1848 – pre-industrial revolution, most
peppered moths were nearly white, matching the light-colored lichen (England)
• By 1948 – post-industrial revolution, soot killed the lichen, revealing darker tree bark underneath…and the frequency of dark moths near London far exceeded the light variety

Balanced PolymorphismBalanced Polymorphism
• Heterozygote Advantage – heterozygous condition results in an advantage over either homozygous condition– Both alleles and all 3 phenotypes are
maintained– Example: sickle cell anemia (caused by
homozygous recessive genotype), heterozygous genotype confers resistance to malaria…so both alleles are maintained in populations of humans
![Page 18: Types of Selection and Sources of Variation IB Biology Evolution.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081716/5514228e550346dd488b58ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Balanced PolymorphismBalanced Polymorphism
• Hybrid Vigor (heterosis): describes the superior quality of offspring resulting from crosses between two different inbred strains– Why? – heterozygous hybrids have fewer
deleterious homozygous recessive conditions and more heterozygous advantages
– Example: hybrid corn (artificial selection)

Balanced PolymorphismBalanced Polymorphism
• Frequency-Dependent Selection (or minority advantage): occurs when the least common phenotypes have a selective advantage– When unusual features give an organism an
advantage, it will eventually become common, but will then lose its advantage
– Tend to fluctuate between low and high frequencies in a population

Neutral VariationNeutral Variation
• Most variations in a species do not confer selective advantages to individuals that possess them
• Example: variations in fingerprint patterns in humans appear to give us no special advantages
