Population Genetics Test Review

The modern synthesis theory is the result of the combination of these ideas proposed by Charles Darwin and Gergor mendel (select two)

• Natural Selection

• Genetics

• Psycology

• Entomology

This picture of a gene pool shows

• that there area maximum number of alleles

• all of the alleles in a population

• all of the alleles in a community

• immigration into a population

The study of genetic variation in a population

• botany

• anatomy and physiiology

• population genetics

• zoology

Which picture represents gene flow

• 
• 
• 
• 

Mass extinction is the

• the complete die off of one species

• formation of another species

• migration of one species

• die-off of multiple species

Which of the following is not type of microevolution?

• hunting

• natural selction

• genetic drift

• gene flow

Natural selction is

• the movement of one species to another place

• the separation of one species

• organisms with favorable traits thrive and reproduce

• the selection of better plants for the next season

A random chance or accident that removes alleles form a population and reduces allele frequencies

• genetic drift

• mutation

• gene flow

• artifical selection

Which picture represents speciation

• 
• 
• 
• 

When a population is not mutating, has no natural selection, has no genetic drift, has no migration and random mating, then it is not evolving. This is called

• Evolution flow

• genetic adjustment

• population speciation

• Hardy-Weinberg equillibrium
