1
Q
Population
A
A group of organisms of a single species occupying a particular area at the same time
2
Q
Hardy-Weinburg Principle
A
States that: allele frequencies in a population will remain constant assuming that there are
- No mutations
- No gene flow
- Random mating
- No genetic drift
- No selection
3
Q
Homozygous - Dominant/recessive
A
AA/aa
4
Q
Heterozygous dominant/recessive
A
Aa
5
Q
(gene migration)
Movement of alleles between populations when:
- Gametes or seeds (in plants) are carried into another population
- Breeding individuals migrate into or out of population
A
Gene Flow
6
Q
When individuals do not choose mates randomly
A
Non-random mating
7
Q
It is the proportion of each allele within a population’s gene pool
A
Allele Frequency
