Mutation
This term refers to a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to new traits in an organism.
What is Mutation?
Genetic drift is most pronounced in populations of this size.
What is a small population?
The feature that provides an advantage in survival and reproduction in a particular environment
What is an adaptation?
This term refers to the movement of genes or alleles between populations through migration
What is Gene Flow?
The different genes in a population
What is Gene Pool?
This concept explains how mutations can lead to new traits that may provide a survival advantage in changing environments.
What is Natural Selection?
This is the process by which a population's allele frequencies change due to a significant reduction in size, often due to a catastrophic event.
What is the bottleneck effect?
This process leads to the survival and reproduction of organisms best suited to their environment
What is natural selection?
Gene flow can increase genetic diversity in a population by introducing new alleles from another population. True or False?
What is True?
The process in which one species gives rise to a new and distinctly different species
What is Speciation?
All species seem to be related because all living things have similar.
What is DNA?
This phenomenon occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population, potentially carrying only a fraction of the genetic diversity of the original population.
What is the founder's effect?
Geographic features, such as mountains or rivers, that prevent gene flow between populations are known as what?
What are geographic barriers?
What is a human or mammal?
This process can increase the effects of genetic drift, as it limits gene flow between populations.
What is population isolation?
When an environmental pressure requires an organism like a giraffe to reach high food sources from trees overtime the fittest giraffes in that environment would have
High levels of gene flow between two populations may hinder this evolutionary process that leads to the formation of new species.
What is speciation?
A volcano erupts and wipes out 90% of the local animal population. Only the survivors are left to reproduce and repopulate the area can be described as this process.
What is Genetic Drift?
On the the hand of evolution, this finger represented Mutation, because.
What is middle finger, because "M" for mutation and middle?
On the hand of evolution, this finger represents Genetic drift, because
What is pinky (small) finger because genetic drift is most pronounced in small populations?
The population of an species that is most able to survive and reproduce is due to high levels of
What is fitness?
What is pointer finger because you point to a direction of migration?
The Father of Evolution
What is Charles Darwin?
