A process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. It occurs in eukaryotes.

the gradual process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment.

a change or difference in condition, amount, or level, typically with certain limits. "regional variations in house prices"

study of evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms

visual representation showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities

The change in the frequency of a gene variant in a population due to random sampling.

dying out or termination of a species

The transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another.

an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment.

Where a species starts to die out slowly

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

When an allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.

the branch of science concerned with the chemical and physicochemical processes that occur within living organisms.

was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern biological naming scheme of binomial nomenclature.

the branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants.

Term	Definition
sexual reproduction	A process that creates a new organism by combining the genetic material of two organisms. It occurs in eukaryotes.
Natural selection	the gradual process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment.
Genetic variability	a change or difference in condition, amount, or level, typically with certain limits. "regional variations in house prices"
phylogeny	study of evolutionary relationships among groups of organisms
phylogenetic tree	visual representation showing the inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities
Genetic drift	The change in the frequency of a gene variant in a population due to random sampling.
extinction	dying out or termination of a species
Gene flow	The transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another.
Fitness	an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment.
gradual extinction	Where a species starts to die out slowly
Hardy-Weinberg Principle	When an allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences.
Biochemistry	the branch of science concerned with the chemical and physicochemical processes that occur within living organisms.
Carl Linnaeus	was a Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern biological naming scheme of binomial nomenclature.
