1 of 9
How are new alleles usually generated?
By mutations in genes.
2 of 9
What is allele frequency?
How often an allele occurs in a population.
3 of 9
What is evolution?
A change in allele frequency.
4 of 9
1st stage of natural selection?
Individuals within a population vary because they have different alleles.
5 of 9
2nd stage of natural selection?
Selection pressures create a struggle for survival.
6 of 9
3rd stage of natural selection?
Some individuals are better adapted to selection pressures than others.
7 of 9
4th stage of natural selection?
Individuals with an advantageous allele are more likely to survive, reproduce and pass on advantageous alleles than individuals with different alleles.
8 of 9
5th stage of natural selection?
This means that a greater proportion of the next generation inherit the advantageous allele.
