Lab Exam 3 Flashcards
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
evolution (definition)
occurs when the genetic composition of a population changes over time.
5 factors play a role in evolution under Hardy-Weinberg law.
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
population (definition)
localized group of interbreeding species members
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
genotype (definition)
the genetic composition of an individual is its genotype
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
genotype frequency (definition)
fraction of a population w/ a particular genotype
of individuals w/ the genotype/# of individuals in the population
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
allele (definition)
each gene variant is a particular allele
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
allele frequency (definition)
fraction of a particular allele in a population’s gene pool
of allele/gene pool
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
gene pool (definition)
entire collection of alleles in a population
total # of individual alleles in the population
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
5 assumptions for genetic equilibrium in a population
1) population must be so large that chance alone cannot significantly alter allele frequencies
2) populations must be isolated so none of its members may leave (emigrate), nor may the population be joined by organisms from elsewhere (immigration)
3) the choice of mates must be entirely random
4) there must be no genetic mutations
5) there must be no natural selection
Hardy-Weinberg lab:
in real populations, are all assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium ever met? Why or why not?
No; populations are rarely isolated, mutation is always at work, natural selection is always at work
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants (definition)
eukaryotic autotrophs that use chlorophylls a and b to carry out photosynthesis. Also has carotenoids
cell walls made of cellulose
reproduce thru gametes (egg and sperm)
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants:
gametes
egg and sperm
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants:
gametes fuse to form ___
zygote
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants:
___ fuse to form zygote
gametes

all the cells that arise from a zygote via mitotic cell division are ___
diploid
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants:
the multicellular, diploid plant that grows from the zygote is called a ___
sporophyte
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants:
the ___, ___ plant that grows from the zygote is called a sporophyte
multicellular, diploid
plant and animal diversity lab:
green plants:
sporophyte (definition)
the multicellular, diploid plant that grows form the zygote
