biology Unit 6
Across
- 2. Isolation due to physical barriers such as mountains or water
- 4. Hardy-Weinberg equation stating all genotypes in a population
- 6. Average phenotype is favored and extremes are selected against
- 11. Measurement of the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce
- 12. Percent of individuals with a particular trait expressed between 0 and 1
- 14. Rapid drastic reduction in population size
- 17. Differences among individuals in a population
- 18. Hardy-Weinberg equation stating all dominant and recessive alleles in a population
- 19. A necessary or desired commodity in an ecosystem
- 21. Movement of genes/alleles/individuals between neighboring populations
- 23. Any characteristic that increases the fitness of an individual
- 24. Individuals best suited to their environment have higher fitness
Down
- 1. Both extremes of a trait are favored over the average
- 3. Migration of individuals out of a population
- 5. Selection within a population due to human interference
- 7. Migration of individuals into a population
- 8. State of genetic equilibrium with no evolution occurring
- 9. One extreme phenotype is favored over the other
- 10. Isolation due to differences in communication or mating rituals
- 11. Small group colonizes a new area and evolves differently
- 13. Random changes in allele frequencies due to chance
- 15. Organisms imitate other organisms to increase fitness
- 16. Collection of all the alleles present in a population
- 20. Isolation due to differences in timing of mating
- 22. Group of individuals of the same species living in the same area and interbreeding
