25
deletion
a nucleotide is removed casing a frame shift
26
Non sense mutation
a stop codon is created casing two polypeptide chains to be made
27
Missens
a faulty protein is made due to mutation
28
Block mutation
effects a large chunk of DNA or a whole gene
29
Deletion
large part of gene is removed
30
Duplication
a section of the gene is made twice
31
Inversion
chunk of DNA put upside down
32
Translocation
part of the left and write chromosome switch
33
Aneuploidy
gain or loss of a single chromosome
34
Polyplodiy
gains an extra chromosome on every position (fatal for living organism)
35
phenotype
physical traits
36
geneotype
the genetic composition
37
condition of natural selection
1. Variation in species 2. Selection pressure 3. Selective advantage 4. heritability
38
heritability
ability to pass on genes
39
Natural selection
creatures with more desirable traits survive and reproduce
40
gene flow
flow of different alleles in and out of a population
41
Immigration
moving into a new population increasing genetic diversity
42
emigration
the movement out of a population decreasing genetic diversity
43
Genetic drift
random event that reduce genetic diversity
44
Bottle neck effect
dramatic decrease in poopulation size due a a random event causing the loss of alleles, reducing genetic diversity
45
Founders effect
a small number of a species colonise a new location but due to the small amount dont have much genetic variation
46
Speciation
formation of a new species
47
Different spieces
cant breed and produce fertile offspring
48
sub species
49
geographical issolation
same species cant get to reach other ( hills or rivers)
50
Temporal
different times of year when species are ready to reproduce
51
Ecological
different nishes so don't interact (water frogs and land frogs)
52
different mating behaviors
53
structual
small dogs cant breed with big dogs
54
gamet mortality
sperm cant penetrate egg
55
zygot morality
fertilisation occurs but the dies
56
hybrid spieces
offspring survives but are infertile
57
Allopatric species
speciation due to geographic barrier
58
galapogus finches
live in different island with different selection pressures...
59
60
prehensible
can grab stuff
61
Bipedalism
stands on two hind legs for long periods of timA
