microevolution

Question 1

Stabilizing selection

Question 2

directional selection

Answer 2

might lead to 1 new species

Question 3

disruptive selection

Answer 3

the in between is being selected against as and end result you might see 2 new species

Question 4

Sexual selection

Answer 4

form of natural selection
certain inherited traits are more likely to obtain mates than others
individuals selecting for traits not environment

Question 5

Genetic drift

Answer 5

random process
Change in the gene pool due to chance
allele frequencies can be drastically altered by factors that change population size

Question 6

The Bottleneck Effect

Answer 6

reduction in numbers causes a very small sample of alleles to survive to establish a new population

Question 7

Founder Effect

Answer 7

a few individuals leave the large population to establish a new population elsewhere

Question 8

Gene Flow

Answer 8

movement of alleles from one population to another through the migration of individuals or gametes
