Population Genetics

Front

The theory of population genetics and how evolution occurs includes all but which of the following

• Mating must be random
• The size of the population is small
• There is no influx of genes from other population
• No genotype has selective advantage over another

Back

The size of the population is small

Front

The total collection of genes in a population at any one time.

Back

gene pool

Front

Random mating

Back

members of the population mate with each other without regard to their phenotypes or genotypes

Front

When a gene pool of a population changed, it means ...

Back

the population is undergoing evolution

Front

A random change in an allele

Back

mutation

Front

What does it mean when a population is in genetic equilibrium?

Back

A large population that doesn't have genetic drift.

Front

The population is in genetic equilibrium if

Back

No migration

Front

p in the equation p+q=1
