Unit 6 choice board

2. When a small part of a population is separated from the rest and colonizes a new area
3. Random changes in allele frequencies attributed to luck, not fitness
4. Isolation of a population due to differences in communication, mating, or other behaviors
5. Percent of individuals of a population that have a particular trait
7. Group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area at the same times and can interbreed
8. When a population experiences a rapid, drastic reduction in the number of individuals in the population
9. Migration of individuals out of a population
11. Describes the movement of genes/alleles/individuals between 2 neighboring populations
12. Migration of new individuals into a population
14. Type of natural selection in which individuals at either extreme of the bell curve achieve higher fitness and the average is selected against
16. Refers to the differences among individuals in a population
18. Any characteristic that increases the fitness of an individual
19. A necessary or desired commodity in an ecosystem

1. The idea that those individuals best suited to their environment will achieve higher fitness
3. isolation of a population due to physical barriers such as a fence, mountain range, or body of water
6. Isolation of a population due to differences in the timing of mating
10. Type of natural selection in which individuals with the average phenotype have an advantage and the extremes are selected against
13. Type of natural selection in which individuals with one extreme phenotype have an advantage and the other is selected against
15. When organisms will impersonate other organisms to increase fitness
17. Measurement of the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce successful offspring
