Across
- 4. a trait controlled by only one gene
- 6. allele frequencies shall remain the same unless one or more factors makes predictions like Punnett squares
- 9. any heritable characteristics that increases an organisms ability to survive/reproduce in its habitat
- 12. individuals at one end of the curve have higher fitness than individuals elsewhere in the curve
- 14. father of evolution
- 15. a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells
- 16. produce gamtes
- 18. a change in allele frequency following a dramatic decrease in the size of the population
Down
- 1. Structures that came from a common ancestor, but have lost much of their original size and function
- 2. any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells
- 3. process which organisms w/ desirable traits live
- 5. individuals w/ in population that used to breed develop different habits
- 7. sequence of 3 nutrients
- 8. carries the genetic information (messenger)
- 9. choosing to breed certain organisms because of their desirable traits
- 10. describes how well an organism can survive and reproduce in its environment
- 11. proteins that act as a catalyst
- 13. thought organisms could change overtime using parts of the body
- 17. process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger
