Genetic Drift changes Genetic Drift changes populations…….populations…….

Founder Effect:Founder Effect: a a cause of genetic drift cause of genetic drift attributable to attributable to colonization by a colonization by a limited number of limited number of individuals from a individuals from a parent populationparent population

Gene FlowGene Flow: genetic : genetic exchange due to the exchange due to the migration of fertile migration of fertile individuals or gametes individuals or gametes between populations between populations (reduces differences (reduces differences between populations)between populations)

Nonrandom matingNonrandom mating: inbreeding and assortive : inbreeding and assortive mating (both shift frequencies of different mating (both shift frequencies of different genotypes)genotypes)

Natural SelectionNatural Selection: : differential success in differential success in reproduction; only form reproduction; only form of microevolution that of microevolution that adapts a population to adapts a population to its environmentits environment

Sexual Sexual selectionselection

Sexual dimorphismSexual dimorphism: : secondary sex secondary sex characteristic distinctioncharacteristic distinction

Sexual selectionSexual selection: : selection towards selection towards secondary sex secondary sex characteristics that leads characteristics that leads to sexual dimorphismto sexual dimorphism
