|
gene pool
|
the entire collection of genes within a given population
|
|
|
alleles
|
different forms of corresponding genes
|
|
|
differential reproduction
|
differential reproduction takes the theory of natural selection one step farther by proposing that those individuals within a population that are most adapted to the enviroment are also the most likely individuals to reproduce successfully
|
|
|
mutation
|
a change of the DNA sequence of a gene, resulting in a change of the trait
|
|
|
true/false: a a mutation can cause a very swift change in a geneotype (and possibly phenotype), but do not neccessarily produce a desirable trait for the particular environment
|
true
|
|
|
true/false: mutations occur quickly, so changes occur in the population quickly
|
although mutations occur quickly, the change in the gene pool is minimal, so change in the population occurs very slowly (over multiple generations)
