This selection pressure favors ONE of the extreme phenotypes (one side of the bell curve) , which shifts allele frequencies to one side or the other

The process in which one species splits into two or more species

When members of a population become a new species due to having different courtship rituals (singing, dancing, etc...) , this is called __________ isolation.

This part of meiosis can help contribute to new genetic combinations in populations

A group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce fertile offspring are called a

The type of genetic drift that follows the colonization of a new habitat by a small group of individuals is called

All of the genetic information (all of the alleles) found in a population.

In this type of natural selection, individuals with intermediate traits (the average/middle) are more likely to survive and reproduce

The frequency of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait is most often shown as

True/False: Genetic drift is change in the allele frequency of a population due to a random, chance event.

This selection pressure favors the extreme phenotypes, dividing the population into 2 distinct groups

Florida panthers used to be more numerous in the Everglades. Today, there are only a few hundred left in the wild due to habitat loss and cars. Numbers are slowly recovering. Which genetic drift is this?
