Bio Lab-Population Genetics: the Hardy-Weinberg Principle

Question 1

Natural selection

Answer 1

The differential survival and reproduction of individuals in a population

Question 2

Origin Of Species

Answer 2

Provided an abundant and convincing evidence in support of evolution

Question 3

Evolution

Answer 3

Change in populations over time

Question 4

Theory

Answer 4

Explanatory power supporters by a large and divers body of evidence

Question 5

Neo-Darwinism

Answer 5

Fusion of evolutionary biology with genetics of populations produced a new view of evolution

Question 6

What does population genetics investigate?

Answer 6

Evolutionary change can arise due to natural selection, as well as migration, genetic drift, and mutation

Question 7

“Changes in the genetic constitution of populations”

Answer 7

Evolution

Question 8

Population

Answer 8

A group of organisms of the same species that occurs in the same area and have the opportunity to interbreed or share a common gene pool

Question 9

Gene pool

Answer 9

All the alleles at all gene loci of all individuals in the population

Question 10

Basic unit of evolutio

Answer 10

Population

Question 11

Microevolution

Answer 11

Small-scale changes in the genetic structure of populations from generation to generation

Question 12

Populations evolve not______

Answer 12

Individuals

Question 13

Hardy-Weinburg Principle

Answer 13

Frequency of alleles in an ideal population will remain the same from generation to generation

Question 14

Certain conditions for genetic variation:

Answer 14

1. Population large 2. Matings random 3.No net changes in gene poo; due to mutation 4.No migration of individuals (gene flow) 5.No selection-genotypes equal

Question 15

Testable

Answer 15

Hardy-Weinburg Principle

Question 16

Sampling with replacement

Answer 16

Probability of selecting an allele should remain equal to its frequency

Question 17

Gene flow

Answer 17

Migrations of individuals between two populations

Question 18

Genetic drift

Answer 18

Effects of small populations size

Question 19

Natural selection

Answer 19

The dominant will overcome the weaker

Question 20

Genetic fixation

Answer 20

The loss of all but one possible allele at a gene loci in a population, common result of genetic drift in small natural populations

Question 21

Bottleneck effect

Answer 21

When a population undergoes a drastic reduction in size as a result of chance events

Question 22

Funder effect

Answer 22

Group of migrants becomes establishes in a new area not currently inhabited by species

Question 23

Migraton of individuals between populations results in ____ ___

Answer 23

Gene flow
