Match each term with its definition. Each term or definition is used only once.

non-random, based on phenotype

variance

a local population of closely related interbreeding organisms

demes

A.K.A. typing

variance

allele frequency changes that occur when a new population is based on only a few individuals

monomorphic

the expected frequencies of genotypes if mating is non-assortative and there are no mutations from one allele to another

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

organisms that are best suited to survive will pass their traits down

natural selection

statistical drift over time of gene frequencies in a population due to random sampling effects (who is created in each generation is an independent event)

random genetic drift

a phenotype subject to both environmental and multiple gene effects

complex trait

an â either/or phenotype with few or no intermediate categories

discontinuous trait

any sequence or gene with a known chromosomal location

genetic marker

how much individual genetic variation accounts for the phenotypic variation seen in a population

heritability

A.K.A. hybrid vigor

heterosis

reduced survival and fertility of offspring of related individuals

inbreeding depression

the mating together of closely related organisms

inbreeding

having only one allelic form

random genetic drift

describes the commonly occurring symmetrical distribution of samples around an average value

normal distribution

multiple genes influence the inheritance of quantitative traits

polygenic inheritance

plateau reached in breeding where selection for a trait is no longer effective

selection limit

changes in allele frequencies within a population over many generations

microevolution

the average of the squared differences from the mean/degrees of freedom

assortative mating
