What is evolution in terms of genetics? | any change in the relative frequency of alleles in a population. |
What are the possible results of a mutation? | some mutations change the phenotype while others have no affect on the fitness. |
Why is gene shuffling discussed in text concerned with variation? | gene shuffling is discussed in text concerned with variation because it adds genetic diversity to the species |
What is a single gene trait? | is controlled by a single gene that has two alleles. |
How is a polygenetic trait different than a single gene trait? | the difference is the polygenetic traits have two or more alleles while singe gene traits only have two alleles. |
