Population genetics Review

The new theory of evolution takes into account Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance

• modern synthesis theory

• theory of all things

• the compound theory

• the theory of genetic evolution

A gene pool is

• all of the alleles in an individual

• all of the alleles in a population

• a body of water filled with fish

• all of the bases in one strand of DNA

Population genetics is the study of

• DNA bases in mitochondria

• how organisms compete with each other

• genetic variation in a population

• genetic recombination in a laboratory

When individuals from two different populations of the same type of species mix with each other

• genetic stirring

• mutation

• genetic drift

• gene flow

When only one species dies off

• extinction

• mass extinction

• population boom

• genetic diversity

Those individuals in a population better equipped to survive will produce more offspring

• genetic creation

• offspring destruction

• bottle neck effect

• natural selection

Genetic drift is a __________________ event.

• chance

• common

• beneficial

• growth

There three types of natural selection events, 1- directional selection, 2- disruptive selection and

• unique selection

• multiple allelism

• stabilizing selection

• conditioning selection

The formation of new species due to evolution

• creation

• mutation

• elimination

• speciation
