[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2695615, member: 34489"] We wouldn't call it evolution. Let me give you an example. If we think of ALL the OU student athletes as a population, and each persons height is controlled by one gene. There are two forms (alleles) of this gene, they are T (Tall) and t (Short). A Tall individual would be TT (because we have one copy of the gene from our father and one copy from our mother), a average height person would be Tt and a short person would be tt. Now, If we send the OU basketball team on a permanent vacation. Then our population would have evolved. The frequency of T's and t's would no longer be the same as they were before. Hence, a change in allele frequency in a population over time. [/QUOTE]
