Unit 7 Vocab Flashcards
Overproduction
When a species has more individuals can survive to maturity
Natural selection
Process by which individuals are better adapted to their environment
Variation
Individuals of a population have many characteristics that differ
Selection
Individuals live longer and reproduce more than others do
Adaption
Inherited trait that is present in a population because trait helps
Micro evolution
Process by which inherited trait changes overtime in a population
Marco evolution
Patterns in which a new species endures
Species
Group of organisms closely related and can make to produce offspring
Gene pool
Total sets of genes
Genetic equilibrium
Astaire I which the allele frequencies of a population remains in a same ratio
Genetic drift
Randomness effects on allele frequencies occur
Gene flow
Movement of genes into or out of a Population due to interbreeding
Hardy Weinberg principle
Principle staring that if there is NO genetic drift, gene flow, random mating, no mutation, or natural selection the population will NOT change
Divergent evolution
Number of different species (splits off) diverge from common ancestor
Convergent evolution
Similar characteristics no common ancestry
