A population is a group of people living together in a given geographical area. By studying the evolution of a population we get to see some answers on the changes that humans go through and the cells within the body. The quiz below is set to test your understanding of the chapter 10 on the evolution of population. Give it a try and see how much you remember. All the best!
Consist of all genes and different alleles that are present in the population
Pool of genes that you can choose from
Number of times that the allele is present in the pool
Stabilizing selection
Disruptive selection
Artificial selection
Directional selection
When allele frequencies stay constant
When all alleles are similar
When there is no random mating
When individuals with one of the extreme traits are selected
When individuals that have moderate phenotypes are selected
When individuals with the extreme phenotypes (upper and lower ends of the curve)
Adaptations
Gene pool
Relative frequency
Directional selection
Disruptive selection
Stabilizing selection
