Natural selection
The process through wich populations of living organisms adapt and change
Gene flow
The transfer of genetic material from one population to another
Genetic drift
The change of frequency of an existing gene variations in population to random changes
Fitness
An organisms ability to survive and reproduce in an environment
Adaptation
Modification of an organisms
Divergent evolution
The acclamation of differences between closely related populations with species sometimes leading to speculation
Convergent evolution
The independent evoloution of similar features in species of diffrent periods
Directional selection
The laboratory by wich biological entities with desired traits recreated
Stabilizing selection
A form of natural selection where individuals with moderate or avergae phenotypes are moderate
Disruptive selection
Occurs when both extreme traits of favored in an environment
Homólogos structure
Similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor
Analogous structure
Features of diffrent species that are similar in features
Speculation
W/0 firm evidence
Bottleneck effect
A genetic event that occurs when a population size is significantly reduced
Sexual selection
The process by wich individuals compete for access to mate and pass on genes
Mutation
Any change of dna sequence of a cell
Gene pool
The combo of all the genes present in a reproducing population
Gene pool
The combo of all the genes present in reproducing population
Evoloution
The prices by wich living organisms ch age over time through gene
Founder effect
Occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the oG population
Artifcial selection
The process of humans choosing wich plants and animals reproduce to pass disides traits
Gradualism
A policy of gradual reform rather than sudden change
Allel frequency
How common a allelles is ona population
Puncated equillibrim
The idea that evoloution occurs in sprite instead of following slow steady pace
