Evolution-Mechanisms

males and females have different traits that may be more favorable to the opposite sex

a population declines to a very low number and then rebounds

Which variable shows the frequency of the dominant allele?

one species gives rise to many in response to a new habitat or another ecological opportunity

What is this graph showing?

how often a certain allele shows up in a population

There are 10 ind. in a pop. 13 of the alleles are dominant and 7 are recessive. What is p?

a physical barrier divides a population into two or more populations

a small sample population separates from the rest of the population

any change in the allele frequencies of a population due to chance

What is this graph showing?

Which variable shows the frequency of heterozygous individuals?

Which variable shows the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals?

What is this graph showing?

the theory that says that evolution proceeds slowly, in small, gradual steps

There are 10 ind. in a pop. 13 of the alleles are dominant and 7 are recessive. What is q?

Which is NOT one of the requirements of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
