Unless siblings are identical twins, two parents will never produce identical children. How is there so much genetic variation among the offspring of two parents?

1)​ (a)   = parents' pairs of chromosomes are randomly sorted into egg & sperm​ (b)  

2)​ (c)   = DNA swaps occur among a parent's chromosomes during ​ (d)   before egg & sperm form

• random assortment
• recombination
• (gametes)

This organism's diploid adult cells have ___ pairs of homologous chromosomes that can sort into ___ different arrangements before the cell splits to make haploid gametes (egg or sperm).

FYI: A human cell can sort into

2²³ or over 8,388,608 possible arrangements to form egg or sperm.

Genetic drift occurs when the allele variation in a gene pool decreases.

Match the forms or examples.

• newly isolated pop. has small gene pool

• elephant seal pop. drops from hundred thousands to 20

• pop. drops

  gene pool shrinks

• founder effect

• bottleneck effect

• bottleneck effect

• founder effect

• water hyacinth transplanted to other countries

Selection is when certain phenotypes (traits) survive and are passed on, while other phenotypes decrease survival.

Match the types

• middle decreases and both ends increase

• Stabilizing selection

• phenotype shifts to one extreme or other

• Directional selection

• middle phenotypes increase

• Disruptive selection
