- Q1An inherited behavior or physical characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.Adaptation30s
- Q2a measure of how common a certain allele is in the populationAllele frequency30s
- Q3The gradual change in a species over timeEvolution30s
- Q4fundamental processes or natural phenomenon that are capable of altering gene frequency in populations and as a result are responsible for evolutionary change; these mechanisms include natural selection, mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and recombination, etc.Evolutionary mechanisms30s
- Q5movement of alleles from one population to anotherGene flow30s
- Q6A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance events rather than natural selection.Genetic drift30s
- Q7A 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 Selection30s
- Q8Random errors in gene replication that lead to a change in the sequence of nucleotides. The source of all genetic diversity.Mutations30s
- Q9The regrouping of genes in an offspring that results in a genetic makeup that is different from that of the parents.Genetic recombination30s
