Bio Choice Board Unit 7
Across
- 3. Natural selection that favors intermediate variants by acting against extreme phenotypes
- 7. A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce
- 8. Combined genetic information of all the members of a particular population
- 9. A group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area
- 11. A technique used to determine the actual age of a fossil on the basis of the amount of a radioactive element it contains
- 14. process in which a large population declines in number, then rebounds
- 15. act of concealing the identity of something by modifying its appearance
- 16. Ability of an animal to look like another more harmful animal
- 17. A process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.
- 18. Number of times that an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of alleles in that pool for the same gene
- 19. form of natural selection in which a single curve splits into two; occurs when individuals at the upper and lower ends of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle
- 20. form of reproductive isolation in which two populations reproduce at different times
Down
- 1. Form of reproductive isolation in which two populations have differences in courtship rituals or other types of behavior that prevent them from interbreeding
- 2. Form of natural selection in which the entire curve moves; occurs when individuals at one end of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end of the curve
- 4. form of reproductive isolation in which two populations are separated physically by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or stretches of water
- 5. Any difference between individuals of the same species.
- 6. change in allele frequencies as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population
- 10. A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance events rather than natural selection.
- 12. not developed
- 13. Ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment
