Term
Microevolution is
Definition
A change in gene frequency within a population over time.This change is due to four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift.
Term
Macroevolution is
Definition
Evolution on a scale of separated gene pools.Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution,which refers to smaller evolutionary changes (typically described as changes in allele frequencies) within a species or population.
Term
Hardy-Weingberg equation is
Definition
a equation that used to describe the relationship between the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies.
Actually, there are one or more interfering factors and gene balance is an ideal thought. Therefore, it is impossible to appear Hardy -Weingerg equation in nature.
Term
Founder effect is
Definition
In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population.
Term
Mutation means
Definition
are changes in a genomic sequence: the DNA sequence of a cell's genome or the DNA or RNA sequence of a virus.
Term
Gene flow means
Definition
In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration) is the transfer of alleles of genes from one population to another.
Term
What's the meaning of Genetic drift?
Definition
Term
Antibiotics are
Definition
microorganisms (for example: actinomycetes) metabolites or synthetic analogs, and its main purpose is to inhibit the growth of other types of microorganisms (bacteriostatic effect) or kill them (bactericidal effect), but generally their The host does not produce serious side effects.
Term
Anemia means
Definition
a decrease in number of red blood cells (RBCs) or less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood.
Term
Speciation is
Definition
Species formation, also known as speciation, is a process of evolution, biological classification refers to the birth of species. The formation of species in nature are 4 models. Exotic species, including the formation of (Allopatric speciation), the formation of sympatric species (Sympatric speciation), sided species formed (Peripatric speciation), the domain species and the formation of the Provisional (Parapatric speciation)
