Small Population
Lower Genetic Diversity, Lower Competition, Small Gene Pool.
What are the consequences of Small Populations?
Genetic Diversity Decreases.
What is a disadvantage of non-random mating?
Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell
What is mutation?
Genetic migration.
What is gene Flow caused by?
The process in which a animal changes to better suit its environment.
What is Adaptation?
Population Bottlenecks, Founder Events, Natural Disasters.
What are some things that cause Small Populations?
Individuals will be more likely to mate with individuals that have stronger traits.
What is Non-random mating?
Random fluctuations in a particular gene.
What is genetic drift?
It promotes genetic variation.
What is one advantage of gene Flow?
More efficient gathering of food, or evasion of predators.
What can Adaptation cause?
A small population breaks away from a larger population, and becomes its own population.
It will not pass on its traits.
What will happen if an individuals traits are seen as not advantageous by possible mates?
A, U, G, C
What are the bases of RNA?
The transfer of alleles from one population to another population.
What is Gene Flow?
It will go extinct.
What happens if an organism stops adapting?
Less Competition for resources.
What is the main advantage of smaller populations?
The individuals that breed more will pass on their traits more, which will influence the direction of change.
How does Non-random mating influence evolution?
It causes a amino acid strand to code for something different.
what does a Missense mutation do?
It could result in the loss of advantageous traits.
What is one downside of gene Flow?
All the prey would die, and the predators would starve.
What would happen if a predator adapted too quickly for prey to adapt in response?
A population with only recessive traits.
What would happen if 2 completely homozygous recessive parents separated from a larger population and made their own population?
Traits will be passed on, despite of how advantageous they are. Evolution will be slowed.
What happens without Non-Random Mating?
Insertion or Deletion.
What can cause frame-shift mutations?
Decreasing genetic diversity.
What can a lack of gene Flow cause?
They will stop adapting.
What would happen if an animal was perfectly adapted?
