Term
What is Biological Evolution?
Definition
Non-Random change of frequency in an inherited from one generation to the next.
Term
(Biological evolution Diagrams) 194 individuals 47RR,96RB,51BB (2alleles R,B).
Definition
-Draw or reread them from notes to predict-
1.) observed genotype frequency
2.) Observed allele frequency
Term
Sexual Selection (non-random mating) is when:
Definition
individuals choose their mate.
Term
(Sexual Selection Diagrams) 10 RR,69 RB, 11 BB N=90, 2 alleles = 180
Definition
Write Observed genotype frequency then write a bar graph. Or reread notes
Term
Bar graph basics for Selection->Big and small
Definition
Big Bar= your observation greater than predicted
Small Bar= less than predicted
Term
What is Stabalizing Selection
Definition
Selection that favors heterozygotes (like bar graph vs. observed.)
