Pop Gen 1

Question 1

Population

Answer 1

A group that includes all members of a species living in a given area

Question 2

Species

Answer 2

A group of populations whose individuals breed and produce fertile offspring

Question 3

Hybrids

Answer 3

individuals of different species interbreed

Question 4

Gene Pool

Answer 4

All the alleles of all the genes in all the individuals of a population

Question 5

what causes the population to evolve?

Answer 5

allele frequencies changing from one generation to the next

Question 6

Equilibrium Population

Answer 6

An idealized population where allele frequencies do not change between generations so no evolution occurs

Question 7

5 conditions for equilibrium

Answer 7

Very large population (No genetic drift)
No emigration of immigration (No gene flow can occur)
No mutations (No new alleles can be added to the gene pool)
Random mating (No sexual selection can occur)
No natural selection (All traits must equally aid in survival)

Question 8

The Hardy Weinberg Principle

Answer 8

A mathematical model that shows that the frequencies of alleles and genotypes remain constant from one generation to the next in an equilibrium population
(p^2+2pq+q^2=1
p=frequency of allele A
q=frequency of allele a
p^2=frequency of individual AA
q^2=frequency of individual aa
2qp=frequency of individual Aa)
