| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| gene pool | All the genes, including all the different alleles for each gene, that are present in a population at any one time |
| Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium | condition that occurs when the frequency of alleles in a particular gene pool remain constant over time |
| directional selection | occurs when natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait |
| disruptive selection | favors individuals at both extremes of the phenotypic range |
| stabilizing selection | Natural selection that favors intermediate variants by acting against extreme phenotypes |
| Microevolution | Change in allele frequencies in a population over gen |
