Population genetics |
The study of the frenquency and interaction of alleles and genes in populations |
|
|
Normal distribution |
A distribution of numerical data whose graph forms of a bell-shaped curve that is symmetrical about the mean |
|
|
Genetic equilibrium |
A state in which the allele frequencies of a population remain the same ratios from one generation to the next |
|
|
Gene flow |
The movement of genes into or out of a population due to interbreeding |
|
|
Non-genetic mating |
If a limited set if genotypes mates to produce offspring, the genotypes frequencies of the population may change |
|
|
Genetic drift |
The random change in allele frequency in a population |
|
|
Reproductive isolation |
A state in which a particular set of populations can no longer interbreed to produce future generations of offspring |
|
|
Subspecies |
A taxonomic classifaction below species that groups organisms that live in different geographical areas, differ morphologically from other populations of the species, but can interbreed with other populations of species. |
|
|
Speciation |
Is the process of forming a new species by evolution from preexisting species |
