Heredity

Which of the following does NOT occur in natural selection?

• There is a variation in a population.

• The variation causes the formation of new genetic material.

• The variation is passed down from one generation to the next.

• The variation makes an organism more likely to survive and reproduce.

1. The ratio of alleles in a population can change randomly over time in a process called

• incomplete dominance

1.  Occurs when two or more genes in different places on a chromosome or on different chromosomes interact to control a single character.

1.  Distinct group of organisms that God created to reproduce. (Broader term than “species”)

This tool is a grid with letters, representing alleles, that is used to predict the likelihood of certain traits in offspring.

 A God-ordained process that occurs in the present and takes advantage of the variations within the kinds and works to preserve the genetic viability of the kinds. It is often used to support evolution, but it does NOT produce new "kinds".

NGSS.HS-LS4-4

1. Some organisms grow up and have babies, but some die.  Some have more babies than others.  This causes certain characteristics to show up more in later generations. This happens completely randomly and unpredictably. What does this explain?

• natural selection

• genetic drift

• codominance

• hybrids
