Q

Random mating

A

mating without choice, not because of attraction etc.

25
Q

large population size

A

need an “infinitely” large population (large is relative to population size )

26
Q

How many Hardy-Weinberg equations are there

A

2

27
Q

What are the Hardy-Weinberg equations

A

Allele frequency equation and genotype frequency equation

28
Q

Allele frequency Equation

A

p + q = 1

29
Q

Genotype Frequency Equation

A

p² + 2pq + q² = 1

30
Q

What does the p stand for in the allele frequency equation

A

the frequency of the dominant allele

31
Q

What does the q stand for in the genotype frequency equation

A

frequency of the recessive allele

32
Q

What does the p² stand for in the genotype frequency equation

A

frequency of homozygous dominant genotype

33
Q

What does the 2pq stand for in the genotype frequency equation

A

frequency of the heterozygous genotype

34
Q

What does the q² stand for in the genotype frequency equation

A

frequency of homozygous recessive genotype

35
Q

Single Gene traits

A

traits controlled by a single gene

36
Q

Polygenic traits

A

traits that are controlled by more than one gene which creates more variation because there are more possible combinations

37
Q

Natural selection on single gene traits

A

people with the more benificial trait will reproduce and make more organisms with that trait

38
Q

What kind of graph does natural selection on single gene traits have

A

standard one up one down

39
Q

Natural Selection on Polygenic traits

A

there is a high amount of beneficial traits, lower not so beneficial

40
Q

How many types of Natural Selection on Polygenic traits are there

A

3

41
Q

What are the 3 types of Natural Selection on Polygenic traits

A

1) Stabilizing Selection
2) Directional Selection
3) Disruptive Selection

42
Q

Stabilizing Selection

A

changes in environment where different organisms are fit

43
Q

Disruptive selection is aka

A

diversifying selection

44
Q

Stablizing Selection is more likely to create

A

a different species

45
Q

all Natural Selection on Polygenic traits graphs are

A

bell curved

46
Q

Sexual Selection

A

whne organisms select their mates based on certain characteristics

47
Q

How many types of sexual selection are there

A

2

48
Q

What are the 2 types of sexual selection

A

Intrasexual and Intersexual

49
Q

Sexual Dimorphism

A

there is a clear difference between male and female structures

50
Q

Intersexual Selection

A

female chooses male based on characteristics

51
Q

Intrasexual Selection

A

males fight and the better/stronger male gets the female

52
Q

do males actually fight in intrasexual selection

A

no, usually thye just size each other up bc fighting causes pain

53
Q

Evolution of drug resistant microorganisms

A

there are antibiotic resistant bacteria that are killed if you take antibiotics bc they kill the weaker bacteria which allow the already antibiotic bacteria to thrive

54
Q

Balancing Selection

A

if there is no trait that is more beneficial than another, there will be a balance of the traits

55
Q

Balancing Selection is aka

A

balance polymorphism

56
Q

Heterozygote Advantage

A

its better to be heterozygous for a trait rather than homozygous recessive/dominant

57
Q

What are some examples of heterozygote advantage

A

sickle cell disease

58
Q

Can natural selection fashion perfect organisms

A

no bc if the body is good at one thing, it will lose another factor

59
Q

Darwin used the practice of _______________ to gain insight into his ideas about a mechanism for descent with modification.

A

artificial selection
