1205458309No Mutations Random Mating No Natural Selection Extremely Large Population Size No Gene FlowConditions for Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
1205458310Genetic Drift, Gene Flow, Natural Selection, Mutations, and Nonrandom matingMajor Factors that alter allele frequencies
1205458311Diploidy and Balancing SelectionHow genetic variation is preserved
1205458312Genetic DriftChanges in allele frequencies in small populations Bottleneck Effect Founder Effect
1205458313Gene FlowThe movement of individuals and/or alleles in and out of a population
1205458314Natural SelectionOccurs when some individuals contribute more offspring than do others
1205458315DiploidyRecessive alleles are hidden from selection in heterozygous genotypes
1205458316Balancing SelectionNatural Selection maintains two or more forms in population Hetero-zygote Advantage Frequency-Dependent Selection
1205458317Hetero-zygote AdvantageSometimes heterozygous individuals are more fit than homozygous individuals Sickle Cell Anemia
1205458318Frequency-dependent selectionFitness of a phenotype declines if it becomes too common
1205458319Balanced PolymorphismMore than one favorable traits for the environment
1205458320Bottleneck EffectA disaster might create a smaller population from a larger one, and the small population's gene pool might not be representative of the original gene pool
1205458321Stabilizing SelectionActs against extreme phenotypes and favors intermediate phenotypes. If a population of mice lives in an environment that consists of rocks of an intermediate color, both light and dark mice will be selected against. In humans, human babies weigh between 3-4 kg at birth
1205458322Directional SelectionShifts frequency curve toward rarer phenotype than the average common phenotype. Darker mice will be favored in an environment of dark rocks, because the darker fur color conceals them from predators
1205458323Diversifying SelectionFavors individuals on both ends of a phenotypic range over intermediate phenotypes. If a population of mice colonizes a patchy habitat made of light and dark rocks, mice of an intermediate color are at a disadvantage.
1205458324Founder EffectA few individuals might become isolated from a larger population, and the smaller population may not have all the alleles found among members of its source population
