Junco Lesson 15-26 Review

Front

What type of variation increases the likelihood of survival in species?

Back

More variation increases the likelihood of survival.

Front

What is the relationship between FID and exploratory behavior?

Back

Both are measures of boldness.

Front

What are alleles?

Back

Different versions of a gene.

Front

What term describes observable traits such as hair color and eye color?

Back

Phenotype.

Front

What phenomenon describes the accelerated genetic drift in isolated small populations?

Back

Founders Effect.

Front

What is genetic drift?

Back

A mechanism of evolution that involves random changes in allele frequencies in a population.

Front

How does natural selection relate to variation in a population?

Back

Natural selection favors individuals with advantageous traits, leading to changes in allele frequencies.

Front

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup, while phenotype refers to the observable traits.

Front

What is the significance of the Founders Effect in evolution?

Back

It can lead to reduced genetic variation and increased susceptibility to genetic drift.

Front

How does boldness affect animal behavior in terms of survival?

Back

Bolder individuals may explore more and access resources, but may also face higher predation risks.
