Question | Answer |
---|---|
organisms change over time. | conclusion by Darwin |
evolution that focuses on changes in the gene pools of populations | microevolution |
evolution that focuses on changes that give rise to new species | macroevolution |
a change in the genetic characteristics of a population of organisms over time. | evolution |
differences in DNA sequences between the individuals in a population. | Results of Mutation |
Arise from mutation | different alleles |
new individuals contribute their alleles to the gene pool of a population | gene flow |
Chance events that affect the survival and reproduction of individuals in a population | genetic drift |
Three quarters of the flowers will be gray and one-quarter will be white. | phenotype frequency of progeny of heterozygotes |
is the principal cause of evolutionary change. | variation acted on by natural selection |
Evidence that support the hypothesis because dark-colored mice were attacked more in light environments and light-colored mice were attacked more in dark environments | adaptation by natural selection |
Natural selection acted on the genetic variability present in the organism’s genomes.; | evolution |
Adaptation by natural selection | nonrandom selection |
Evidence that a humans and chimpanzees share a recent common ancestor | homologous structures |
Number of individuals in a population with 200 alleles for each gene | 100 |
The frequency of q when p= 0.8 | 0.2 |
Genotype frequency | genotype/total genotypes |
Rate of evolution of an organisms that reproduces slowly | slow evolution |
Effect of stable environmental conditions on evolution | does not stimulate evolution |
high mutation rate of HIV. | stimulate rapid evolution leads drug resistance |
appear without regard to environmental pressures | mutations |
makes the genetic composition of the two populations more similar. | gene flow |
Greater effect on small populations than on large populations | genetic drift |
Frequency of an allele = 1 | allele fixation by genetic drift |
Bottleneck effect | type of genetic drift loss of genetic variation |
Stabilizing selection | emliominatoin of extreme in a bell curve |
