Hardy Weinberg
The variable that represents the frequency of the dominant allele.
What is p?
The term for a cell containing two copies of each chromosome.
What is a diploid cell?
This concept defines a species as a group of populations that can interbreed and produce a viable, fertile offspring.
What is the biological species concept?
This scientist is considered the “Father of Genetics.”
Who is Gregor Mendel?
Viruses require this to replicate.
What is a host cell?
The term that represents the heterozygous genotype.
Humans have this number of chromosomes in their somatic cells.
What is 46?
This prezygotic barrier prevents mating because species live in different habitats.
What is habitat isolation?
In a cross between two heterozygotes, what percent of the offspring should have the recessive trait?
This term refers to the protein shell that surround a virus’s genetic material.
The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium equation.
What is p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1?
During this phase of meiosis, homologous chromosome line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase I?
This is when a population’s size is drastically reduced, typically by a natural disaster, leading to a loss of genetic diversity.
What is the bottleneck effect?
Mendel’s Law of Segregation states that during gamete formation, these segregate so that each gamete only receives one.
What are alleles?
This stage of the lytic replication cycle involves the virus taking control of the host’s machinery to produce viral nucleic acids and proteins.
What is synthesis?
The meaning of null hypothesis.
What is no evolution occurring with in the population?
This point on the chromosome is where crossing over occurs.
What is the chiasmata?
The three types of postzygotic barriers.
What are reduced hybrid viability, reduced hybrid fertility, and hybrid breakdown?
What is incomplete dominance?
During this viral life cycle, the virus integrates its DNA into the host genome without destroying the host cell.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
The five assumptions for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
What is no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinitely large population, and no selective pressures?
During this phase of meiosis, sister chromatids separate.
What is anaphase II?
This type of speciation occurs when a population is geographically isolated.
What is allopatric speciation?
This type of inheritance occurs when multiple genes contribute to a single trait, such as skin color or height.
What is polygenic inheritance?
This type of virus contains RNA as its genetic material, which is then transcribed into DNA in the host cell.
What is a retrovirus?
