AP Biology Chapter 18 - Evolution

        Help!  

Question
Answer
gene pool   includes all alleles for all the loci present in the population  
🗑
allele   one, two, or more forms of a gene  
🗑
genotype   organism's full hereditary information  
🗑
phenotype   organism's actual observed properties like development and behavior  
🗑
genetic equilibrium   a population whose allele and genotype frequencies don't change from generation to generation  
🗑
fitness   relative ability of a given genotype to make a genetic contribution to subsequent generations  
🗑
population genetics   study of genetic variability within a population and of the forces that act on it  
🗑
genotype frequency   proportion of a particular genotype in the population  
🗑
phenotype frequency   proportion of a particular phenotype in the population  
🗑
allele frequency   proportion of a specific allele of a given genetic locus in the population  
🗑
locus (loci)   fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg principle   allele and genotype frequencies don't change from generation to generation (no evolution is occurring) in a population at genetic equilibrium  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg principle (5 conditions required). Mating is ___   random in the population.  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg (conditons). There are no net ___   mutations that change the allele frequencies.  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg (conditions). Population ___   is large.  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg (conditions). Individuals do not ___   migrate between populations.  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg (conditions). Natural selection ___   does not occur.  
🗑
inbreeding   the mating of genetically similar individuals that are more closely related  
🗑
microevolution   change in allele or genotype frequencies within a population over successive generations  
🗑
mutations   unpredictable changes in DNA, are the source of new alleles  
🗑
Mutations increase the   genetic variability acted on by natural selection.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
