Question
Answer
a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interbreed, producing fertile offspring   population  
🗑
The state of a population in which frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from generation to generation   Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium  
🗑
The aggregate of all copies of every type of allele at all loci in every individual in a population.   gene pool  
🗑
Evolution that results in a better match between organisms and their environment   adaptive evolution  
🗑
A process in which chance events cause unpredictable fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to the next   genetic drift  
🗑
Form of genetic drift where a few individuals become isolated from a larger population & form a new population whose gene pool composition differs from the original population   founder effect  
🗑
Form of genetic drift where the size of population is reduce by a natural disaster or human actions   bottleneck effect  
🗑
The transfer of alleles from one population to another, resulting from the movement of fertile individuals or their gametes   gene flow  
🗑
Individuals at one end of the phenotypic range survive or reproduce more successfully than do other individuals   directional selection  
🗑
Individuals on both extremes of a phenotypic range survive or reproduce more successfully than individuals with intermediate phenotypes   disruptive selection  
🗑
Intermediate phenotypes survive or reproduce more successfully than do extreme phenotypes   stabilizing selection  
🗑
Individuals with certain inherited characteristics are more likely than other individuals to obtain mates   sexual selection  
🗑
Differences between the secondary sex characteristics of males & females of the same species.   sexual dimorphism  
🗑
Direct competition among individuals of one sex for mates of the opposite sex   intrasexual selection  
🗑
Individuals of one sex (usually females) are choosy in selecting their mates from the other sex   Intersexual selection  
🗑
Greater reproductive success of heterozygous individuals compared to homozygotes   heterozygote advantage  
🗑
  frequency dependent  
🗑


   

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.
