Q

the changing of the structure of a
gene, resulting in a variant form that may be
transmitted to subsequent generations, caused
by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or
the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of
larger sections of genes or chromosomes.

new variation enters the species”

Q

organisms choose their
mate with each other, with preference for
particular genotypes. It occurs when the
probability that two individuals in a population
will mate is not the same for all possible pairs of
individuals. Nonrandom mating can take two
forms: Inbreeding - individuals are more likely to mate with close relatives (e.g. their neighbors)
than with distant relatives.

Q

is any movement of
individuals, and/or the genetic material they
carry, from one population to another. Gene
flow includes lots of different kinds of events,
such as pollen being blown to a new destination
or people moving to new cities or countries. If
gene versions are carried to a population where
those gene versions previously did not exist,
gene flow can be a very important source of
genetic variation. In the graphic below, the gene
version for brown coloration moves from one
population to another.
