A
Mathematical relationship between allele frequency and genotypic frequency in an “ideal population” over multiple generations
2
Q
Fitness
A
reproductive success of an individual with a particular phenotype
3
Q
Indirect measures of Fitness
A
Survival to reproductive ages
Mating Success
Fecundity
average excess fitness (relative fitness)
4
Q
Balancing Selection
A
Some forms of selection maintain diversity in populations
5
Q
Negative Frequency-Dependent Selection
A
Fitness decreases as frequency increases
6
Q
Frequency-Dependent Selection
A
Fitness increases as frequency increases
