Evolution is the change in a gene pool of a population through processes like mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. In this webinar, we will discuss fundamentals of natural selection, speciation and phylogenetic trees. We will also learn how to use the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and apply its equations to large populations.

On the MCAT

  • Many students believe that because the big ideas of evolution seem simple, it is generally easy to grasp. Additionally, popular sayings like “survival of the fittest” have misconstrued the biological concepts behind evolution. Remember, the test tests science not popular culture!

Testimonial

I think these webinars are really helpful! I like how they’re styled like a TED talk, so they don’t interfere with the day, but they’re really helpful review 🙂

I found everything helpful about these webinars: the explanations, the illustrations, just everything!

Amazing material conveyed concisely and in great detail!

The wealth of information and sample questions are great.

“These 30 minute FREE, live videos conducted each Friday helped me get through the pandemic. Weike is an exceptional tutor, and being able to ask questions after she’s done was magnificent. These webinars have even helped me in class subjects such as Biochemistry.  I’m looking forward to starting one-on-one tutoring with Cambridge Coaching, and I’m already feeling confident about taking the MCAT when the time comes.”
