Hardy-Weinberg LAB

QuestionAnswer
Which forces of evolution are random? Drift and Mutation
Which forces of evolution are non-random? Natural selection, non random mating, and migration.
Evoultion is possible because of what? Variation
What are variable characteristics? characteristics that are the same or similar
What is a gene pool? genetic make-up of a population
What are allele frequencies? the porportion of alleles that are B and b
what are genotype frequencies? portion of the different type of allele combinations- BB, Bb, bb
What is microevolution? change in genetic make up of a population from one generation to the next.
What is the Hardy-Weinberg principle? how allele and genotype frequencies are expected to change within populations.
Why is Hardy-Weinberg used? To see if a population is evolving.
What are the Hardy-Weinberg conditions? 1. No mutations. 2.No selection 3.No Drift (population is large enough) 4.No gene flow 5.There is random mating going on.
What is the domninant allele in Hardy equation? p
What is the recessive allele in Hardy equation? q
What is AA? homozygous dominant
What is Aa? heteroqygous
A population that meets Hardy assumptions is? In evolutionary stasis
In Hardy-Weinberg conditions, which is the hardest to meet? natural selection, because our environment is constantly changing.
If a beetle is brown and white what kind of dominance is this? co-dominance
If there is a population of 200 which Hardy condition is hardest to meet? Drift, because its such a small population
Evoultion changes in characteristics of a population over the course of generations
Adaptations traits that increase the chance of survival or reproduction
Adaptive alleles become more what? Common
Non adaptive alleles become more what? uncommon
What causes a difference between an original population and an island population? The founder effect.
Can individuals evolve? No. Populations only becuase it takes more than one individual to reproduce.
What is the unit that evolves? Population
Are wild populations in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? No. You violate a condition easily.
What does natural selection act upon? phenotype
Is natural selection random or non random? Non random
Does natural selection lead to perfection? No. Environment is constantly changing.
What is the bottle neck effect? random changes in gene frequencies to form a reduction in the population.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
