Lesson 3 and 4 Flashcards
Individual > Population > Natural Selection > Fitness > Adaptation > Evolution
True
documented that natural selection allows population to respond to changes
charles darwin
dna > genes > proteins
true
alleles present at each gene within organism’’s genome
genotype
appearance of organism for particular charactertistic
phenotype
ability of one genotype to produce more than one phenotype when exposed to different environments
phenotypic plasticity
genetic variations can be found within and among subpopulation
true
local populations of interbreeding individuals linked by movement
subpopulation
gene pool
sum of all genetic information usually measured into two ways
what are the two ways in measuring genetic information
allele frequency, genotype frequency
populations are normally spatially separated and ndependent
true
genetic variation occurs at a level of population
true
adaption is a product of evolution by natural selection
true
processes that can alter patterns of genetic variation
mutation genetic drift sexual reproduction migration assortative meeting
different alleles and genotype freuencies will remain constant
