Processes of Evolution Flashcards
1
Q
5 major processes
A
Natural Selection
Mutation
Gene Flow
Genetic Drift
Nonrandom mating
affects the genetic makeup of populations over time
2
Q
What is the Hardy-Weinberg principle?
A
Analysis of the freq of alleles when many individuals in a pop mate and make offspring
3
Q
What is a gene pool?
A
All gametes(sperm and egg) made in each gen go into a single group
the sum of all copies of alleles found in a population
4
Q
Allele Frequency
A
of copies of alleles in pop/ # of total copies of alleles in the pop
Proportion of each allele in the allele in the gene pool
5
Q
Genotype frequency
A
Proportion of each genotype among individuals
6
Q
Assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg model
A
No Natural Selection
No Mutation
No Gene Flow
NO Genetic Drift
NO Nonrandom mating
