|
Group of interbreeding individuals; group within which one is most likely to find a mate and is marked by a degree of genetic relatedness and shares a common gene pool.
|
Population
|
|
|
The total complement of genes shared by reproductive members of a population.
|
Gene pool
|
|
|
Populations that are clearly isolated geographically and/or socially from other breeding groups.
|
Breeding isolates
|
|
|
Mating with individuals from the same group.
|
Endogamy
|
|
|
Mating pattern whereby individuals obtain mates from groups other than their own.
|
Exogamy
|
|
|
The mathematical relationship expressing- under ideal conditions- the predicted distribution of alleles in populations; the central theorem of population genetics; postulates a set of conditions in a population where no evoluation occurs.
|
Hardy-Weinberg theory of genetic equilbrium
|
|
|
List the hypothetical conditions that a population would be assumed to meet.
|
1. The population is infinitely large.
2. There is no mutation. 3. There is no gene flow. 4. Natural selection is not operating. 5. Mating is random. |
|
|
Patterns of mating in a population in which individuals choose mates preferentially.
|
Nonrandom mating
|
|
|
A type of nonrandom mating in which relatives mate more often than predicted under random mating conditions.
|
Inbreeding
|
|
|
In biology, pertaining to populations of a species that differ from other populations of the same species with regard to some aspects of outwardly expressed phenotype. Such phenotypic variation within a species is usually associated with differences in geographical location.
|
Racial
|
|
|
A genetic trait governed by a locus with more than one allele; used as a principal tool to understand the dynamics of evoluation in modern populations.
|
Polymorphism
|
