New cards
evolution
The process of biological change in populations over time that makes descendants genetically different from their ancestors.
2
New cards
microevolution
Evolution that can occur on a small scale affecting a single population.
3
New cards
macroevolution
Evolution on a large scale affecting changes in species across populations.
4
New cards
natural selection
The mechanism for how evolution occurs.
5
New cards
fitness
A measure of how well you can survive in your environment.
6
New cards
adaptation
A feature that allows an organism to better survive in its environment.
7
New cards
gene pool
The combined alleles of all individuals in a population.
8
New cards
genetic drift
Random change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time.
9
New cards
gene flow
Movement of genes into/out of a population.
10
New cards
sexual selection
The selection of traits that aren’t necessarily good for survival fitness, but are necessary for reproduction.
11
New cards
genetic equilibrium
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium; when there are NO changes in allele frequencies in a population over time.
