1
Gene
DNA sequence coding for RNA/protein; found at a locus.
New cards
2
Alleles
Different gene variants.
New cards
3
Diploid organisms
Organisms that have two copies of each gene.
New cards
4
Homozygous
Genotype with identical alleles.
New cards
5
Heterozygous
Genotype with different alleles.
New cards
6
Gene pool
All alleles in a population.
New cards
7
Genotype
An individual’s allele combination.
New cards
8
Phenotype
Observable traits.
New cards
9
Population
Group of the same species in a shared environment that can interbreed.
New cards
10
Polymorphism
The presence of two or more alleles at a frequency greater than 1%.
New cards
11
SNPs
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, a major source of genetic variation.
New cards
12
Hardy-Weinberg Equation
Mathematical model for allele and genotype frequencies in a population.
New cards
13
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium conditions
No mutations, no natural selection, large population, no migration, random mating.
New cards
14
Microevolution
Changes in a population’s gene pool over generations.
New cards
15
Natural Selection
Beneficial heritable traits become more common over generations.
New cards
16
Adaptation
Evolutionary changes improving survival and reproduction.
New cards
17
Reproductive Success
Likelihood of contributing fertile offspring.
New cards
18
Fitness
Relative reproductive success of a genotype.
New cards
19
Directional Selection
Selection that favors one extreme phenotype.
New cards
20
Stabilizing Selection
Selection that favors intermediate phenotype, against extremes.
New cards
21
Disruptive Selection
Selection that favors both extremes, not intermediates.
New cards
22
Balancing Selection
Maintains genetic variation through balanced polymorphism.
New cards
23
Intrasexual Selection
Same-sex competition for mates/resources.
New cards
24
Intersexual Selection
Mate choice based on traits signaling genetic quality.
New cards
25
Sexual Dimorphism
Visible differences between sexes due to sexual selection.
New cards
26
Cryptic Female Choice
Female-driven mechanisms that influence sperm success in fertilization.
New cards
27
Genetic Drift
Random changes in allele frequencies, independent of fitness.
New cards
28
Bottleneck Effect
Dramatic population reduction followed by recovery.
New cards
29
Founder Effect
Small group separates from a larger population to establish a new colony.
New cards
30
Gene Flow
Movement of alleles between populations.
New cards
31
Assortative Mating
Similar phenotypes mate preferentially.
New cards
32
Disassortative Mating
Dissimilar phenotypes mate preferentially.
New cards
33
Inbreeding
Mating between genetically related individuals.
New cards
34
Inbreeding Depression
Reduced fitness due to increased homozygosity of harmful alleles.
