Across
- 4. the movement of alleles between populations
- 7. genetic drift that occurs after a small number of individuals colonize a new area
- 8. physical barriers that divide a population that prevents mating
- 11. the rise of two or more species from one existing species
- 12. In a population of frogs there are 5 homozygous dominant, 2 heterozygous, and 3 homozygous recessive for the green color trait. What is the allele frequency of the dominant green trait?
- 14. timing of reproductive periods that prevents mating
- 16. structures that are similar in function, but different in structure
- 17. genetic drift that occurs after an event that greatly reduces the population
- 18. this type of selection favors one extreme
- 20. the mechanism in which the best fit organisms in the environment survive and reproduce
- 22. scientists compare embryos to look for similar patterns and structures
- 23. What percent of the population of ladybugs is red if 13 are red and 9 are yellow?
- 24. a group of organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring
Down
- 1. two or more species can evolve in response to changes in each other
- 2. structures that are similar in structure, but different in function
- 3. the father of evolution
- 5. change over time
- 6. process in which humans select traits through breeding
- 9. a pattern of evolution toward similar traits in unrelated species
- 10. structure that had a function in an early ancestor but does not anymore
- 13. a difference in a physical trait
- 15. elimination of a species from Earth
- 19. this type of selection favors both extremes
- 21. all alleles in a population
- 23. In a population of dogs, long ears are dominant. There a 2 homozygous long ear dogs, 4 heterozygous, and 2 homozygous short ear dogs. Calculate the allele frequency of the short ear trait.
