---|---|---|---|---|
What is when a sequence of bases is changed in a DNA molecule
What is a mutation?
|
What is TRUE
True or False? The effects of genetic drift are greater during a population bottleneck event.
|
What is the migration of individuals or movement of gametes
What causes gene flow?
|
What is
1. Balancing 2. Directional 3. Disruptive
What are the three possible outcomes of natural selection?
|
What is The proportion of individuals still alive at the end of a given time interval
What is the survival rate of a population represent?
|
What is new alleles
What does mutation create?
|
What is Random chance
Genetic drift is a change in allele frequency in a population over time due to?
|
What is FALSE
True or false? Gene flow relates to the founder effect.
|
What is balancing
What type of selection is described in this equation?
A1A1< A1A2>A2A2 |
What is Survivorship
The percentage of an original cohort that survives to a given age or stage is known as?
|
What is Nonsense mutation
Ty of mutation: the altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building a protein
|
What is reduced genetic variability
What does genetic drift cause?
|
What is TRUE
True or false? There are higher chances of alteration in gene flow as compared to genetic drift.
|
What is natural selection
Dark mice are preyed upon more often in a beach habitat, as they are more visible than light-colored mice. Is this natural or artificial selection?
|
What is the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to other individuals
What is relative fitness?
|
What is Missense mutation
Type of mutation: a change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene
|
What is frequency of recessive alleles
What does “q” in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium represent?
|
What is FALSE
True or false? Gene flow happens by staying in one's original population
|
What is natural selection
Organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce more often than those with different, less favored traits. What is this process called?
|
What is a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment.
What is an adaption?
|
What is sickle cell anemia
Type of mutation: An inherited blood disorder where red blood cells (RBCs) become sickle/crescent-shaped.
|
What is frequency of heterozygous individuals
What does 2pq in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium represent?
|
What is TRUE
True or false? Gene flow is when caribou from one herd mating with members of another herd
|
What is "survival of the fittest"
What is the popular phrase that has to do with natural selection?
|
What is sexual recombination
What is most important in producing genetic differences to make adaptations possible?
