Module 2: Evolution

The percentage of any one specific allele.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

It is how often a particular allele appears in a population.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Population

It is the differences among members os a species.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Population

If the allelic frequency stays the same generations.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Population

All alleles of a population’s genes.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Population

The percentage of any one specific allele.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Population

A group of individuals of the same species living in a particular area at the same time.

• Gene Pool

• Allele Frequency

• Variations

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Population

If organisms can choose their mating partners, then the more desirable alleles will have a higher frequency in future populations.

• Non-Random Mating

• Mutation

• Genetic Drift

• Gene Flow

• Natural Selection

A mutation in a parents DNA could result in offspring with different alleles, changing the allele frequency of the population.

• Non-Random Mating

• Mutation

• Genetic Drift

• Gene Flow

• Natural Selection

It occurs when the allele frequency of a population changes by chance.

• Non-Random Mating

• Mutation

• Genetic Drift

• Gene Flow
