Across
- 1. represents the hardy windberg
- 4. a group of individuals of the same species living in a specific geographic area at the same time, capable of interbreeding and sharing genes
- 6. any essential substance or object (like food, water, nutrients, light, space, territory)
- 9. isolation a prezygotic reproductive barrier where distinct mating rituals, courtship displays, or signals (like calls or dances)
- 13. isolation when physical barriers (like mountains, rivers, oceans)
- 14. variation the difference in DNA sequences among individuals within a species
- 18. the movement of individuals out of a population, habitat, or region, reducing the original group's size
- 19. a heritable trait (physical, behavioral, or physiological) that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its specific environment
- 21. selection a type of natural selection where intermediate traits are favored, eliminating
- 23. pool the total collection of all genes and their different versions (alleles) found within an entire population of a single species
- 24. isolation a prezygotic barrier where two species can't interbreed because their mating seasons
Down
- 2. the fundamental definition of allele frequencies
- 3. effect a sharp reduction in a population's size,
- 5. selection the process where organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive, reproduce
- 7. selection a type of natural selection where one extreme phenotype (trait)
- 8. drift a fundamental evolutionary process where allele frequencies (gene variant proportions) in a population change randomly from generation to generation
- 10. frequency a heritable trait (physical, behavioral, or physiological) that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its specific environment
- 11. the movement of individuals of a species into a new population or habitat, increasing its size, genetic diversity, and potentially altering its dynamics
- 12. the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, and leave fertile offspring in a specific environment
- 15. selection a type of natural selection where extreme traits at both ends of a spectrum are favored over intermediate
- 16. windberg allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain
- 17. effect a genetic phenomenon where a new population, established by a small, isolated group formed a large one
- 20. when one organism evolves to resemble another (a model)
- 22. flow the transfer of genetic materieals (alleles) between different populations of the same species
