Population Genetics

allele frequency

• the number of a certain allele present in a population

• the act of leaving one's own territory to settle permanently in another

• the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis

• the action of coming to live permanently in a new territory

emigration

• the number of a certain allele present in a population

• the act of leaving one's own territory to settle permanently in another

• the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis

• the action of coming to live permanently in a new territory

crossing over

• the number of a certain allele present in a population

• the act of leaving one's own territory to settle permanently in another

• the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis

• the action of coming to live permanently in a new territory

immigration

• the number of a certain allele present in a population

• the act of leaving one's own territory to settle permanently in another

• the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis

• the action of coming to live permanently in a new territory

gene pool

• the collective alleles of all members of a population

• the exchange of alleles between populations by immigration and emigration

• changes of allele frequencies in a gene pool due to random/chance events

• cell division which forms gametes

gene flow

• the collective alleles of all members of a population

• the exchange of alleles between populations by immigration and emigration

• changes of allele frequencies in a gene pool due to random/chance events

• cell division which forms gametes

genetic drift

• the collective alleles of all members of a population

• the exchange of alleles between populations by immigration and emigration

• changes of allele frequencies in a gene pool due to random/chance events

• cell division which forms gametes

meiosis

• the collective alleles of all members of a population

• the exchange of alleles between populations by immigration and emigration

• changes of allele frequencies in a gene pool due to random/chance events

• cell division which forms gametes

mutation

• random and irreversible changes in the DNA of an organism

• the individuals in a population that are best suited to the environment and will leave more offspring than those which are not

• mating which is the result of certain individuals selecting a mate based on phenotype

• the differences in the genetic makeup of organisms within a gene pool

• random and irreversible changes in the DNA of an organism

• the individuals in a population that are best suited to the environment and will leave more offspring than those which are not

• mating which is the result of certain individuals selecting a mate based on phenotype
