Question
Answer
inheritance of acquired characteristics   changes that individuals acquired during their lives were passed on to their offspring.  
🗑
population genetics   the study of the properties of genes in populations  
🗑
the requirements to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium   no mutation, no genes are transferred to or from other sources, mating is random, population size is very large, no selection occurs.  
🗑
gene flow   the movement of alleles from one population to another  
🗑
assortive mating   phenotypically similar individuals mate  
🗑
genetic drift   frequencies of particular alleles may change drastically by chance alone  
🗑
founder effect   one or a few individuals disperse and become the founders of a new, isolated population at some distance from their place of origin  
🗑
bottleneck effect   populations may be drastically reduced in size, this may result from flooding , drought, epidemic disease, and other natural forces, or from changes in the environment  
🗑
fitness   quantify reproductive success  
🗑
frequency-dependent selection   the fitness of a phenotype depends on its frequency within the population  
🗑
oscillating   selection favors one phenotype at one time and another phenotype at another time  
🗑
heterozygote advantage   favors individuals with copies of both alleles and thus works to maintain both alleles in the population  
🗑
disruption selection   selection acts to eliminate intermediate types  
🗑
directional selection   selection acts to eliminate one extreme from an array of phenotypes, the genes promoting this extreme become less frequent in the population and may eventually disappear  
🗑
stabilizing selection   selection acts to eliminate both extremes from an array of phenotypes, increasing the frequency of the already common intermediate type  
🗑
assortive mating a. affects genotype frequencies expected under Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium b. affects allele frequencies expected under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium c.has no effect on the genotypic frequencies expected under Hardy-Weinberg   a. affects genotype frequencies expected under Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium  
🗑
relative fitness a. refers to the survival rate of one phenotype compared to that of another b.refers to the reproductive success of a phenotype d. none   a. refers to the survival rate of one phenotype compared to that of another  
🗑


   

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.
