Hardy-Weinberg
What is the dominant allele
This vocab word uses a single letter to describe something as dominant or recessive
What is an allele
In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, alleles will remain ______________ to make this theory true
What is constant
These will show up predominately in homozygous recessive populations
what are mutations
This is the type of relationship that keeps populations in check
what is a predator-prey relationship
In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, "2pq" represents this
what is the heterozygous genotype
The maximum number of individuals that a given area can support
what is the carrying capacity
a population will expand when new members join. This process is called
Non-random mating is a form of this, which leads to genetic variation and evolution
What is natural selection
This is the most common type of population distribution amongst mammals
What is clumped
The formula used to find the individual alleles of a population is this
what is "p + q = 1"
This population type does not allow for immigration or emigration, example: a game reserve
What is a closed population
What is the bottleneck effect
Name one mechanism that animals may use to help defend themselves in their environment
what is protection, quickness, camouflage, or increasing size
These are the two factors that increase a population, and decrease a population (in that order)
What is immigration + births, emigration + deaths
This word is used to describe the process of individuals in a population moving to a different population
What is emigration
A kind of population that will see a slow level off due to competition for limited resources
what is a k selected population
When a smaller, subset population forms, a result of this will be a loss in genetic variation. This effect is known as the
what is founder effect
The species of plants that start during the beginning of primary succession
What is a pioneer species
Out of the six factors that will bring about evolutionary change, which one involves changes in a population during DNA formation
What is a mutation
This type of growth is seen to have a rapid increase and can continue on indefinitely. Mostly seen in r selected populations
What is exponential growth
The term that defines the factor that will "push up" on the carrying capacity of a population, causing an increase in the population
what is biotic potential
When a population size significantly decreases, members of a population will move resulting in ________ to occur
What is genetic drift
What is Gause's Principle
