Main Point: discuss the reason why there is an increasing frequency of light brown sheep in sheep population over time than dark brown sheep (despite the fact that dark sheep is bigger and is assumed to be more fit)
Structure:
P1: point out the context of why St K is a great place to study natural evolution (island and undisrupted evolution of sheep for thousands of years)
P2:
- Key discussion:
- Assumption that because dark sheep are bigger, they should be better for survival
- Result: opposite
- Reason: (from JS) locis (nearby locations) of coat color genes have effect on sheep's survival
- Coat color gene is next to fit genes on the genome
- Relevant locis: body size, juv survival, reproduction success
- dark color gene is dominant: + with size, - with juv survival, - reproduction success
- Conclusion:
- light color & dark (but only one parent is dark) are more fit
- if not for the body size advantage, dark one will be even worse off |
