Natural Selection
The process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Gene Pool
The total set of different genes present in a population.
Crossing Over
The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, leading to genetic diversity.
Recombination
The process by which genetic material is broken and joined to other genetic material, contributing to genetic variation.
Allele
Different forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
Allele Frequency
The relative frequency of an allele at a particular locus in a population, expressed as a fraction or percentage.
Genotype Frequency
The proportion of different genotypes in a population.
Hardy-Weinberg Equation/Equilibrium
A principle stating that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant in the absence of disturbing factors.
