Genetic Drift and Resistance Vocab (Evolution)

Consists of all genes present in a population, including all alleles for each gene

• allele frequency

• gene pool

• variation

• biodiversity

The movement of genes into or out of a population.

• sexual selection

• genetic drift

• bottleneck effect

• gene flow

In small populations, individuals that carry a particular allele may leave more descendants than other individuals, just by chance

• genetic flow

• genetic drift

• genetic trade

• genetic equilibrium

A change in allele frequency following a dramatic reduction in the size of a population (like a catastrophe)

• bottleneck effect

• founder effect

• temporal isolation

• speciation

Change in allele frequencies as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population

• speciation

• founder effect

• bottleneck effect

the differences in characteristics between organisms

• phenotype

• vestigial structure

• mutation

• variation
