Evolutionary Biology

Genetic Theory

100

Is differential survival and reproductive success with respect to phenotype

What is Natural selection?

200

Zygotes, Adults (male and female), Parents, and Gametes represent

What is fitness components?

300

If one allele has higher relative fitness than another, its frequency increases in the population via selection

What is positive selection?

400

Genetic variation in population formula?

What is P(1-p)?

500

Non-selected genes increasing in frequency because of a linkage with a selected gene

What is hitchhiking?

Phenotypic Evolution

100

Is a measure of genetic diversity

What is Heterozygosity?

200

Selection causes ________ fitness to evolve towards adaptive peaks 

What is average population?

300

True or false?

Frequency-dependent selection can not cause mean population to decrease, while relative individual fitness increases

What is false?

400

Those that show continuous variation in a population and are typically polygenic

What is quantitative traits?

500

V_{G =} Va+V_D+V_I

What is the phenotypic variance formula?

Genetic Drift

100

Drift is sensitive to 

What is population size?

200

The larger the effect the ______ the population

What is smaller?

300

Identical population

No selection

finite population size

Large fecundity

Start new generation with survivors

What is 5 key points of genetic drift?

400

Changing two factors in population size

What is bottleneck and founder?

500

Environmental variation

Catastrophic events

Extinction

Habitat destruction 

Habitat fragmentation

What is the Extinction Vortex?

Evolution in Space

100

Large-scale movement in behavioral ecology

What is migration?

200

High gene flow, weak selection

What is gene swapping?

300

The proportion of reproductive individuals in a population that came from a different population (m)

What is migration rate?

400

Resluts from non-random mating 

strongly affects distributions of genetic variation in populations

What is population structure?

500

Morphology

Ability to interbreed

Genetic similarity

What is species concepts?

Evolution at Random

100

New alleles entering a population from another population

What is gene flow?

200

Variation, Heritability, and differential fitness contribute to 

What is the natural selection summary?

300

Reduces the fitness of offspring produced by mating between relatives

What is inbreeding depression?

400

Limited or no gene flow between populations

What is reproductive isolation?

500

Stresses the importance of reproductive isolation between populations

What is the biological species concept?
