BIOL 3040 : Complete Final Study Guide (ALL LO)
Document Summary
Final exam study guide: describe the process of artificial selection, selective breeding. 2 of the most evolutionary-fit (produce most viable offspring) bred together to reduce/eliminate undesirable traits. List and describe the three conditions necessary for natural selection to occur within a population: variation within population. Later/further back: large and growing populations: explain what it means when two loci are said to be in linkage disequilibrium, linkage disequilibrium: when statistical associations are present between alleles at 2 loci, between -0. 25-0. 25. In rna world, ribozyme (catalytic rna molecules) used to replicate rna molecules, without these natural selection would not occur in rna world. 17. 1 overview of sexual selection: describe sexual selection and explain how it differs from natural selection. Intersexual selection: individuals of one sex select among individuals of the other sex as mates. Linkage disequilibrium: good genes vs. sexy sons: is the trait detrimental to female fitness, females: genes for selecting color becomes dominant; males: begin to only have colorful genes.
