21
Q

Non random mating

A

Not an equal chance of mating because of genotype - allel frequencies do not change - assortative and dissasortative

22
Q

Assortative

A

Mating similar – increases homozygosity

23
Q

Dissasortative

A

Mating dissimilar - increases heterozygosity

24
Q

Sex

A

The fusion of gametes and genetic material that produces a new combination in offspring

25
Q

Obligately sexual

A

EITHER asexual OR sexual

26
Q

Faculative sexual

A

Asexual or sexual (can do both)

27
Q

Parthenogenesis (whale)

A

Females produce offspring without sex - the eggs reamin diploid after meiosis

28
Q

Intersexual

A

between sexes

29
Q

Intrasexual

A

Within one gender

30
Q

Females are normally

A

choosier, higher parental investmenet, few gametes

31
Q

Males are normally

A

Put on displays to get female attention, many gametes, reproduction limited by number of partners

32
Q

Direct benefits of choosy

A

Attractive = good parent, will provide food, protection, land

33
Q

Indirect benefits of choosy

A

Good genes = improve survival and attractivness of offspring

34
Q

Sperm competition

A

fastest sperm gets the egg

35
Q

Scrapers

A

scrape out sperm from previous mate

36
Q

Mating plug

A

Leave a plug to prevent other males from mating

37
Q

Direct control

A

of a females food source, resources

38
Q

Sexual dimorphism

A

distinct difference between genders

39
Q

Sexual monomorphism

A

Both genders equally invest in parental care

40
Q

Morphological species concept

A

Fossils/traits

41
Q

Issues of morphological

A

convergent evolution where 2 species have different origins of the same trait

42
Q

Biological species concept

A

focus on whether or not 2 individuals can mate together this is testable but cannot be used on asexual or extinct

43
Q

Phylogenetic species concept

A

species grouped based on morphological and genetic info

44
Q

Dominant allele is beneficial

A

recessive remains in the population and allele frequency stays the same

45
Q

Dominant allele is negative

A

Recessive becomes fixed and dominant completely vanishes.

46
Q

Recessive is bad

A

It remains in the population but never gets to 0. Dominant goes to 0.6 and heterozygote goes to 0.4

47
Q

Directional selection

A

Shifts towards favourable phenotype and does not increase or decrease variation

48
Q

Disruptive selection

A

favours outliers disturbing the mean. Increased variation in population

49
Q

Stabilizing selection

A

favours mean. Decreased variation in population

50
Q

Absolute fitness

A

amount of offspring produced over an individuals lifetime
