Document Summary

Evolution is one force that can cause populations to evolve. Population a group of organisms potentially capable of successful reproduction. Group of individuals of the same species capable of successful reproduction. Individuals of a population tend to choose mates within the group. The population is the entity that evolves individuals do not evolve, populations evolve ** Changes occur within a population from one generation to the next. Gene pool the sum of all alleles carried by the members of a population. Evolution change in allele frequencies in a population from one generation to the next. Genetic equilibrium - no changes in allele frequencies, i. e. no evolution is occurring in the population. Allele frequencies how common an allele is in the entire population. Allele and genotype frequencies may be different. If two heterozygotes mate what proportion of offspring will have sticky earwax.
