Genetic Equilibrium that states an "ideal" population that is not evolving would include
1.No mutations
2.No individuals coming or leaving
3.A large population
4.Individuals mating randomly
5. Selection not occuring |

| The individuals at the right and left ends of the graph are the best fit. The individuals in the middle are the least fit. Graph caves in, in the middles or seems to split in two. |

Term
|
Definition
| When the population is small and individuals have more offspring, so they pass on more traits. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A trait that is controlled by a single gene with two alleles. Can be shown with a bar graph. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Populations share a gene pool. A genetic change in one individual (if it increases fitness) can spread, over time through the population. That individuals and its offspring survive and pass on the allele for the trait until more and more of the population exhibit the trait. |
