LEARNING PROGRAM
Artificial Selection. Ans: Breeding organisms with specific traits in
order to produce offspring with identical traits.
⫸ Evolution. Ans: The gradual change in a species over time
⫸ Extinction. Ans: A term that typically describes a species that no
longer has any known living individuals.
⫸ Natural Selection. Ans: A natural process resulting in the evolution
of organisms best adapted to the environment. (Survival of the fittest)
⫸ Variation. Ans: Any difference between individuals of the same
species.
⫸ Allele Frequency. Ans: Number of times that an allele occurs in a
gene pool compared with the number of alleles in that pool for the
same gene
⫸ Allele. Ans: Different forms of a gene
, ⫸ Gene Pool. Ans: Combined genetic information of all the
members of a particular population
⫸ Genome. Ans: all of an organism's genetic material
⫸ Gene. Ans: Discrete unit of hereditary information
⫸ Genotype. Ans: Genetic makeup of an organism
⫸ Hardy-Weinberg Principle. Ans: If in a large population, p and q
are proportions of allele A and a. After one generation of random
mating, the genotypes will attain and remain at the following
frequencies: p^2 2pq q^2.
AA = p^2
Aa = 2pq
aa = q^2
⫸ Five Conditions for Hardy Weinberg Principle to Apply. Ans: 1.
Very large population
2. Isolated from other populations
3. No mutations
4. Random mating
5. No natural Selection.
⫸ Allele frequency Equation. Ans: p + q = 1
