GENES YAPPING

Question 1

What makes a species

Answer 1

Reproduction good

Question 2

What makes a population

Answer 2

Species same area

Question 3

Gene pool

Answer 3

All the genes and alleles in the POPULATION

Question 4

Allele frequency

Answer 4

Gene pool, how many times an allele shows up

Question 5

Lateral gene transfer

Answer 5

Genes are swapped outside of reproduction, usually the single celled organisms cuz they’re weird

Question 6

Polygenic

Answer 6

two or more genes (not alleles but the genes themselves)

Question 7

Frequency questions approach how

Answer 7

Math and graphs and stuff

Question 8

Evolution: Yap about gene duplication

Answer 8

If extra genes are copied with no bad effects then it makes more diversity with the genome

Question 9

Evolution: yap about genetic rearrangement

Answer 9

Sequences can add, delete, or rearrange DNA and this constantly makes new code for new proteins

Question 10

yap about hox genes and evolution

Answer 10

Homologous genes that code for early and important development in a lot of different animals

Question 11

Evolution: yap about neutral mutations

Answer 11

They can be used to predict how related in time different species are, calculates “molecular clocks” and can compare how genes evolved over time

Question 12

How to create accurate molecular clocks

Answer 12

Not easy, need to determine how often mutations occur and it’s different for every DNA

Question 13

Why do polygenic traits show bell curves

Answer 13

More genes means more levels of intermediate phenotypes are possible
