Correct Answers
Evolution ✅Change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over
successive generations

Populations ✅Group of organisms of the same species living in the same geographical
region.

Evidence for evolution ✅o Variation in traits (or characteristics) within a species exists.

O These traits are heritable.

O Some traits result in individuals having more offspring (or are associated with it).

O These traits will increase within a population over time.

Causes of Evolution ✅genetic drift, migration, mutation

Types of genetic drifts ✅Random change in allele frequencies in a population

It is depended upon which sperm fertilizes which egg

Founder effect ✅· A small number of individuals may leave a population and become
the founding members of a new, isolated population

O An example of this is thought to be the Amish population

· Note: Creates an entirely new population

Population bottleneck effect ✅A famine, disease, or rapid environmental change
causes the deaths of a large proportion of a population. Because of this reducing in size
of that population it's called the bottleneck effect

Mutation ✅Alteration in the base-pair sequence of an individual's DNA

Migration ✅Movement of some individuals from one population to another

Note: Population 1 and 2 already exist and individuals from population 1 (for example)
would move to the already existing population 2 on the other side of a mountain
