Genetic Drift
The term refers to random changes in allele frequencies in a populations gene pool overtime?
Genetic drift
This process, first described by Charles Darwin, involves the survival and reproduction of individuals best Suited to their environment
Natural selection
Natural selection slowly causes this overtime
Evolution
Fitness is very important in this type of evolution
Natural selection
Old bones from long ago animals are called?
Fossils
This type of genetic drift occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population with a fraction of the original populations genetic diversity
Founder effect
This type of evolution occurs when different species evolve similar traits independently due to similar environmental preserves?
Convergent evolution
Natural selection helps animals to _____ better.
Survive
If an animal has a lot of babies it’s fitness is?
High
Evolution means that living things change over….
Time
Genetic drift can lead to a outcome, where certain alleles become fixed or lost in a population, reducing genetic variation
Genetic differentiation
When animals moves & share genes
gene flow
Traits passed from parents to babies are called?
Inherited traits
If an animal has no babies, it’s fitness is?
Low
This word mean how new types of plants or animals form
Speciation
Genetic drift has a more noticeable effect in populations of small size, True or false?
True
This random process can change traits in small groups?
Genetic drift
Natural selections help animals…
Survive
Fitness means?
How well an animal can survive & have babies
Mutations help add _____ to a population
variation
Genetic drift can lead to a loss of genetic variation. true or false?
True
Small change in DNA
Mutation
This word means that babies can grow up & have babies of their own
Reproduce
Animals with good traits and many babies have
High fitness
When few animals start a new group this is called…?
Founder effect
