lab 12 Flashcards
genetic change in population
evolution
permanent alteraion of base sequence in a cells DNA
mutation
occurs when genetic material moves from one population to another
gene flow
occurs when individuals in a population choose mates on the basis of phenotype and genotype
non-random mating
effect of random events on allele and genotype frequencies and has an effect inverse to population size.
genetic drift
increased survival and reproduction of one phenotype over others in a population
selection
small changes in population
microevolution
occurs when seperate populations evolve independently of each other eventually resulting in enough differences that the seperate populations are no longer able to interbreed
speciation
large scale change to population
macroevolution
5 conditions
- no mutation
- no gene flow
- random mating
- large population size
- no selection
selection when one phenotype survives and reproduces better than another
fitness
three types of selection
natural, artificial, and sexual
effect of random events on allele and genotype frequencies
genetic drift
occurs when a population is reduced to an extremely small size
population bottleneck
