(7 cards)
1
Q
gene flow
A
the incorporation of genes into the gene pool of one population from one or more other populations
2
Q
fixation index
A
quantifies the proportion of genetic diversity due to allele frequency differences among populations
3
Q
fixation index scale
A
0: similar
1: different
4
Q
random mating
A
individuals mate randomly
5
Q
non-random mating
A
any deviations from random mating
6
Q
inbreeding
A
increases the percentage of genetic loci that are homozygous for alleles
7
Q

A
s«m: migration is stronger than selection
