Unit 7
Across
- 3. 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.
- 4. A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance events rather than natural selection.
- 8. movement of alleles from one population to another
- 9. Any difference between individuals of the same species.
- 11. A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce
- 13. Number of times that an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of alleles in that pool for the same gene
- 15. Natural selection that favors intermediate variants by acting against extreme phenotypes
- 17. A group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area
- 18. Form of reproductive isolation in which two populations have differences in courtship rituals or other types of behavior that prevent them from interbreeding
- 19. the act of concealing the identity of something by modifying its appearance
Down
- 1. change in allele frequencies as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population
- 2. 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
- 5. form of reproductive isolation in which two populations reproduce at different times
- 6. form of reproductive isolation in which two populations are separated physically by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or stretches of water
- 7. 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
- 10. Ability of an animal to look like another more harmful animal
- 12. Combined genetic information of all the members of a particular population
- 14. Ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment
- 16. A change in allele frequency following a dramatic reduction in the size of a population
