What causes gene flow?
100
What is

What are the three possible outcomes of natural selection?
100
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?
200
What is new alleles
What does mutation create?
200
What is Random chance
Genetic drift is a change in allele frequency in a population over time due to?
200
What is FALSE
True or false? Gene flow relates to the founder effect.
200
What is balancing
What type of selection is described in this equation?
A1A1< A1A2>A2A2
200
What is Survivorship
The percentage of an original cohort that survives to a given age or stage is known as?
300
What is Nonsense mutation
Ty of mutation: the altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building a protein
300
What is reduced genetic variability
What does genetic drift cause?
300
What is TRUE
True or false? There are higher chances of alteration in gene flow as compared to genetic drift.
300
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?
300
What is the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation relative to other individuals
What is relative fitness?
400
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
400
What is frequency of recessive alleles
What does “q” in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium represent?
400
What is FALSE
True or false? Gene flow happens by staying in one's original population
400
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?
400
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?
500
What is sickle cell anemia
Type of mutation: An inherited blood disorder where red blood cells (RBCs) become sickle/crescent-shaped.
500
What is frequency of heterozygous individuals
What does 2pq in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium represent?
500
What is TRUE
True or false? Gene flow is when caribou from one herd mating with members of another herd
