Biology Evolution

TermDefinition
gene shuffling creates new variation by changing parts of the genetic code
gene pool all the genes within a population
directional selection occurs when natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait
stabilizing selection both extremes are selected against
disruptive selection average phenotype selected against
gene flow members of one population move to another population and breed
genetic drift change in allele frequency due to random effects
bottleneck effect randomly remove large numbers of individuals from a population
founder effect small part of population removes itself from the larger population
geographical isolation separated by geographical barriers
behavioral selection separated by behavioral differences and don't mate
temporal isolation Don’t reproduce at the same time
reproductive isolation cannot mate and produce offspring
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium allelic frequency stay the same
adaptive radiation species diversifies into many new species
convergent evolution species evolve to a similar form from different ancestors and adaptive to similar environment
coevolution species evolve together because of a close ecological relationship
punctuated equilibrium evolution shows long stable period and then rapid burst of change

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
