1. __________ ___________ acts on the range of phenotypes in a ___________.
2. Evolution occurs as a population’s genes and their frequencies change _____ ____ 3. Picture all of the alleles of the population’s genes as being in a large pool called a ________ ___________ . 4. The percentage of any specific allele in the gene pool is called the ___________ _____________________________ . 5. They refer to a population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations as being in ______________ _____________________ . 6. A population that is in genetic equilibrium is not _________________ . 7. One mechanism for genetic change is _________________________ . 8. Occasionally a mutation results in a ____________ variation, and the new gene becomes part of the population’s gene pool by the process of ________ selection. 9. Another mechanism that disrupts a population’s genetic equilibrium is _________ ___________ - the alteration of allelic frequencies by _____________ events. 10. ___________ __________________ is also disrupted by the movement of individuals in and out of a population. 11. The transport of genes by migrating individuals is called _________ _________ . 12. There are 3 different types of natural selection that act on variation: ___________________, _________________, and ___________________. 13. ________________ selection is natural selection that favors average individuals in a population. 14. ________________ selection occurs when natural selection favors one of the extreme variations of a trait. 15. In __________________ selection, individuals with either extreme of a trait’s variation are selected for. 16. Significant changes in the ________ ________ could lead to the evolution of a new ____________ over time. 17. The evolution of new species, a process called _________________ occurs when members of similar populations no longer ______________ to produce _________________ offspring within their natural environment. 18. __________________ _________________ occurs whenever a physical barrier divides a population. 19. __________________ _________________ occurs when formerly interbreeding organisms can no longer mate and produce fertile offspring. 20. Any individual or species with a multiple of the normal set of chromosomes is known as a ___________________ . 21. Mistakes during ___________________ or ______________ can result in polyploid individuals. 22. When a polyploid mates with an individual of the normal species, the resulting _______________ may not develop normally because of the differences in ___________________ numbers. 23. However, polyploids within a population may __________________ and form a separate _______________ . 24. ________________ is the idea that species originate through a gradual change of adaptations. 25. In 1972, Niles Eldredge and Stephen J. Gould proposed a different hypothesis known as ___________________ _________________ which argues that speciation occurs relatively quickly, in __________ __________, with long periods of ______________ ____________________in between. 26. Speciation happens quickly—in about __________ __________ or less. 27. Biologists generally agree that both gradualism and punctuated equilibrium can result in ________________, depending on the circumstances. 28. When an ancestral species evolves into an array of species to fit a number of diverse habitats, the result is called ________________ _______________. 29. Adaptive radiation is a type of _______________ _______________, the pattern of evolution in which species that once were similar to an ____________ species diverge, or become increasingly distinct. 30. A pattern of evolution in which ____________ ____________ organisms evolve similar traits is called _____________________ ___________________ .
