Population Genetics

which of the following are causes for microevolution?

Which of the following are characteristics of a K strategist?

Why might you use a chi square test?

individuals moving out of a population

offspring capable of producing more offspring

a group of the same species of individuals living in a specific area

how can you determine if two individuals are of the same species?

if the allele frequency deviates from one generation to the next... we say that population is..

Which is an example of an r strategist

which is a valid null hypothesis for the chi square test

in nature, do most populations follow the Hardy-Weinberg principal?

The maximum number of individuals in a population that a particular environment can support

mech of evolution- varying genotype that + an org. chance of survival passed from gen to gen

individuals moving into a population

according to modern synthesis theory of evolution-what is responsible for inheritance of traits

why might you work out a Hardy-Weinberg problem

the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another often caused by migration

speciation requires

In the Hardy Weinberg equation... 1= p²+ 2pq + q² What does the p² represent?

Which of the following are characteristics of an r strategist?

An inverted pyramid on a population growth chart would tell you....

What are the 5 assumptions for Hardy Weinberg equilibrium?

In the Hardy Weinberg equation... 1= p² + 2pq + q^2. What does the 2pq represent?

mechanism of evolution where allele freq. of a population change over generations due to chance

the forming of a new species

to develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form

evolutionary change within a species, especially over a relatively short period of time

How do changes in gene pools occur?

all the alleles of all the individuals within a population

when two organisms can mate and create fertile, viable offspring.

no two individuals are exactly alike

populations evolve, individuals do not
