What is Genetic Structure?
This is a method of experimentation that involves using your sense to gather information
What is an observational method?
Mating of closely related individuals.
What is Inbreeding?
Changes in a population's genetic structure.
What is Microevolution?
Event that initiates an allele frequency change in part of the population, which is not typical of the original population.
What is the Founder Effect?
Theory of sexual selection that argues individuals develop impressive ornaments to show off their efficient metabolism or ability to fight.
What is the Good Genes Hypothesis?
Theory of sexual selection that argues only the fittest individuals can afford costly traits.
What is the Handicap Principle?
Selection that favors average phenotypes.
What is Stabilizing Selection?
Increase in frequency of beneficial alleles and decrease in deleterious alleles due to selection.
What is Adaptive Evolution?
Miss Harmon's favorite animal?
What is a Sea Otter?
The names of Miss Harmon's Fish
What is Billy, Bob, & Guppie?
Selection that favors phenotypes at one end of the spectrum of existing variation.
What is Directional Selection?
(Also, gene frequency) rate at which a specific allele appears within a population.
What is Allele Frequency?
What did we learn about in the library with Ms. Mabry
What is Natural Selection and Genetic Drift?
Changes in a population's gene pool due to mate choice or other forces that cause individuals to mate with certain phenotypes more than.
What is Non-random Mating?
The format of the Vocab test?
What is Multiple Choice?
Increase in abnormalities and disease in inbreeding populations.
What is Inbreeding Depression?
Selection that favors two or more distinct phenotypes
What is Diversifying Selection?
(Also, Darwinian fitness) individual's ability to survive and reproduce.
What is Evolutionary Fitness?
The season that we are currently in
What is Fall?
This is the factor that a scientist changes on purpose in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
Diversity of alleles and genotypes in a population.
What is Genetic Variation?
Differences in the phenotypic variation between populations that are separated geographically.
What is Geographical Variation?
These are observations that involve numbers or measurements.
What are Quantitative observations?
Magnification of genetic drift as a result of natural events or catastrophes.
What is the Bottleneck Effect?
