What are the assumptions of hardy Weinberg (5)?
Definition
1. Mating is random
2. No mutations are arising
3. No gene flow
4. No natural selection
5. Population size is infinitely large

Term
What is the allele frequency in a population?
Definition
Allele or gene frequency is the percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population gene pool represented by a particular allele.
Term
What are the four types of natural selection?
Definition
directional
stabilizing
disruptive

Term
What is evolution?
Definition
the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
Term
What is adaptation?
Definition
the process by which an animal or plant becomes fitted to its environment. It is the result of natural selection acting on inherited variation.
Term
What is natural selection?
Definition
is the gradual process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of the effect of inherited traits on the differential reproductive success of organisms interacting with their environment.
Term
What is polymorphisism?
Definition
when two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species—in other words, the occurrence of more than one form or morph. In order to be classified as such, morphs must occupy the same habitat at the same time and belong to a panmictic population
Term
What does monophyletic mean?
Definition
a group of organisms descended from a common evolutionary ancestor or ancestral group, especially one not shared with any other group.
Term
What does paraphyletic mean?
Definition
a group of organisms descended from a common evolutionary ancestor or ancestral group, but not including all the descendant groups.
Term
What does polyphyletic mean?
Definition
a group of organisms derived from more than one common evolutionary ancestor or ancestral group and therefore not suitable for placing in the same taxon.
Term
What is a pliesiomorphy?
Definition
An ancestral or primitive character
Term
What is an apomorphy?
Definition
A trait which characterises an ancestral species and its descendants
Term
What is homeoplaisy?
Definition
similarities between two species that evolved independently from different features in their common ancestor.
Term
What is divergent evolution
Definition
the accumulation of differences between groups which can lead to the formation of new species, usually a result of diffusion of the same species to different and isolated environments
Term
What is convergent evolution?
Definition
the process whereby organisms not closely related (not monophyletic), independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.
Term
What is polyphyletic?
Definition
a group characterised by one or more homeoplaisys
