Consists of all the genes, including all the different alleles for each gene, that are present in a population | Gene Pool |
The number of times an allele occurs in a gene pool, compared to the total number of alleles in that pool for the same gene | Allele Frequency |
A trait controlled by only one gene; eg: shells with or without bands on snails | Single-Gene Trait |
Trait controlled by two or more genes; eg: height | Polygenic Traits |
When individuals at one end of the curve have higher frequencies than individuals in the middle or at the other end | Directional Selection |
When individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end | Stabilizing Selection |
When individuals at the outer ends of the curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle of the curve | Disruptive Selection |
In small populations, individuals that carry a particular allele may leave more descendants than other individuals leave, just by chance. Over time, a series of chance occurrences can cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. | Genetic Drift |
A change in allele frequency following a dramatic reduction in the size of a population | Bottleneck Effect |
Allele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population | Founder Effect |
When a population is not evolving and allele frequencies in its gene pool do not change | Genetic Equilibrium |
Allele frequencies in a population should remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change | Hardy-Weinberg Principle |
Individuals select mates based on heritable traits, such as size, strength, or coloration | Sexual Selection |
Population or group of populations whose members can interbreed and produce fertile offspring | Species |
Formation of a new species | Speciation |
Two populations that no longer interbreed | Reproductive Isolation |
Two populations that are capable of interbreeding develop differences in courtship rituals or other behaviors | Behavioral Isolation |
When two populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water | Geographic Isolation |
When two or more species reproduce at different times | Temporal Isolation |
Comparing stretches of DNA to mark the passage of evolutionary time | Molecular Clock |
