-certain genotypes may be better _________ for _________
-these variations can be transmitted to _________
-over time, there is an ___________ due to __________ leading to __________

Answer 2

-equipped, survival
-offpsring
-increased frequency in geneotypes due to increased ability to survive and leading to biological diversity

Question 3

-what is a population sample
-what is a gene pool
what is used to study changes

Answer 3

-population sample
-a small group of people to indicate an entire population

Answer 4

1. ability to remain stable
2. variability

Question 5

Hary Weinberg principle

-what are the 5 conditions

stability in a gene pool = what?

Answer 5

-same composition generation after generation
1. large population
2. no gene flow
3. no mutations
4. no natural selection
5. random mating
=genetic equilibrium

Question 6

What are the 3 formulas

Answer 6

-p+q=1
-p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
-p^2(N) + 2pq(N) + q^2(N) = total N
