NGSS.HS-LS4-5

Movement of alleles into or out of a population due to the migration of individuals to or from the population

• Gene Flow
• disruptive selection
• directional selection
• MIcroevolution

A change in a gene or chromosome that results in a new phenotype

• Mutation
• Species
• Temporal Isolation
• behavioral isolation

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

random change in allele frequencies that occurs in small populations

• Genetic Drift
• Species
• Speciation
• MIcroevolution

the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population

• Genetic Drift Founder Effect
• Geographic Isolation
• Genetic Drift: Bottleneck Effect
• directional selection

A rapid decrease in population size due to a disturbance or natural disaster that changes allele frequency

• Genetic Drift: Bottleneck Effect
• stabilizing selection
• Speciation
• Natural Selection

A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.

• Natural Selection
• Temporal Isolation
• behavioral isolation
• Mutation

NGSS.HS-LS4-3

The selection of traits that aren't necessarily good for survival fitness, but without them, you can't pass on your genes at all because you can't reproduce

• non-random mating (sexual selection)
• Reproductive Isolation
• Temporal Isolation
• Geographic Isolation

occurs when natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait
