- Q2remnants of features that served important functions in the the organism's ancestorsvestigial structures30s
- Q3the independent evolution of similar features in different lineagesconvergent evolution30s
- Q4the frequencies of alleles and genotypes in a population will remain constant from generation to generation, provided that only Mendelian segregation and recombination of alleles are at workHardy-Weinberg30s
- Q5the aggregate of all of the alleles for all of the loci in individuals in a populationgene pool30s
- Q6a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area and interbreed, producing fertile offspringpopulation30s
- Q7a process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce than are organisms with other characteristicsnatural selection30s
- Q8changes in the gene pool due to random eventsgenetic drift30s
- Q9when a individuals become isolated from a larger population, this smaller group may establish a new population whose gene pool differs from the source populationfounder effect30s
- Q10when there is a severe drop in population size, certain alleles may be overrepresented among the survivors, others may be underrepresented, and some may be absent altogetherbottleneck effect30s
- Q11the transfer of alleles into or out of a population due to the movement of fertile individuals or their gametesgene flow30s
- Q12when conditions favor individuals exhibiting one extreme of a phenotypic range, thereby shifting the frequency curve for the phenotypic character in one direction or the otherdirectional selection30s
- Q13when conditions favor individuals at both extremes of a phenotypic range over individuals with intermediate phenotypesdisruptive selection30s
- Q14acts against both extreme phenotypes and favors intermediate variantsstabilizing selection30s
- Q15a form of natural selection in which individuals with certain inherited characteristics are more likely than other individuals to obtain matessexual selection30s
