Bio Unit 3
Across
- 3. form of reproductive isolation in which two populations are separated physically by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains or stretches of water
- 4. inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival
- 8. selection by humans from breeding of useful traits from the natural variation among different organisms
- 9. selection a process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individual because of those traits
- 10. form of reproductive isolation in which two populations have differences in courtship rituals or other types of behavior that prevent them from interbreeding
- 11. difference among individuals in the composition of their genes or other DNA segments
- 13. condition that occurs when the frequency of alleles in a particular gene pool remain constant over time
- 16. movement of individuals out of a population
- 19. number of times that an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of alleles in that pool for the same gene
- 20. movement of alleles from one population to another
- 21. ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment
Down
- 1. a group of individual that belong to the same species and live in the same area
- 2. a change in allele frequency following a dramatic reduction in the size of a population
- 5. change in allele frequencies as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population
- 6. selection 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
- 7. a change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance events rather than natural selection
- 12. combined genetic information of all the members of a particular population
- 14. migration to a new location
- 15. natural selection that favors intermediate variants by acting against extreme phenotypes
- 17. ability of an animal to look like another more harmful animal
- 18. selection form of natural selection in which a single curve splits into two, occurs when individuals at the upper and lower ends of distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle
