Evolution and Natural Selection

• Review mutations as a cause of genetic variation using hemoglobin’s point mutation ( See Molecular Sequences and Primate Evolution Web Resource, below )
• Discuss why sickle cell anemia remains in the population ( See Student Activity and Teacher Pages, below )
• Use hemoglobin to show evolution patterns ( See the Use Hemoglobin to Show Evolution Patterns Document, below )
