Question 1

What changes allele frequency?

Answer 1

Mutation

Recombination

Lateral gene transfer

Question 2

What is Recombination?

Answer 2

During Meiosis, chromosome mix causing millions of gene combinations crossing over during meiosis can also result in genetic variation during recombination

Question 3

What is Lateral Gene Transfer?

Answer 3

The passing of genes from in individual to another and NOT through sexual reproduction

Question 4

What does the number of phenotypes produced for a trait depend on?

Answer 4

Depends on how many genes control the trait

Question 5

Single-Gene traits are controlled by?

Answer 5

Controlled by ONE gene

Question 6

Polygenic traits are controlled by?

Answer 6

2 or more genes

Ex:Height

Question 7

A bell shaped curve is what?

Answer 7

Is normal in an average of a particular trait in polygenic traits
