Question
Answer
What type of reproduction that creates identical offspring?   asexual  
🗑
What process produces non-identical gametes?   meiosis  
🗑
Genetic variability is created by sexual reproduction, different alleles for a gene and what?   mutations  
🗑
What are alternate forms of a gene called?   alleles  
🗑
What type of reproduction leads to genetic variability?   sexual reproduction  
🗑
Gametes produced through meiosis are not identical because of independent assortment AND what process?   crossing over  
🗑
A beneficial one of these can lead to a new allele for a gene. A harmful one of these often leads to genetic defects and death   mutations  
🗑
The gene for eye color might have a blue and brown one of these?   alleles  
🗑
If an organism has two different alleles for a trait they are said to be what?   heterozygous  
🗑
If a population is at a genetic equilibrium (gene frequencies remain the same) then evolution is or is not occurring?   is NOT.  
🗑
If natural selection is favoring a particular form of a trait and non of the other forms (black color only) then what type of selection is most likely occurring?   directional  
🗑
If a population is undergoing evolution then the frequency of genes is changing or not changing?   changing  
🗑
An individual who is Bb is a carrier of a recessive allele which promotes genetic variability. A Bb individual for a trait is said to be what?   heterozygous  
🗑
If a population is stable with 30% black and 70% brown, the population is in what?   genetic equilibrium.  
🗑
If natural selection is favoring two extreme forms of a trait (black and white but not brown), what type of selection is most likely occurring?   disruptive  
🗑
If natural selection is favoring the most common form of a trait then what type of selection is most likely occurring?   stabilizing  
🗑


   

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.
