Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if?
inbreeding takes place frequently within the population
A population in which allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation is said to be in?
A population in which the allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next is said to be in equilibrium.
What is a situation in which allele frequencies remain constant?
Equal fitness in a population
What has happens when an allele becomes fixed?
As alleles become fixed, there is an overall decline in heterozygosity as each population become homozygous for one or the other of the alleles.
What does the hardy Weinberg principle state?
allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change
What is population inbreeding?
population inbreeding is when two animals are a diff type of speices and the mate they cant have a babby because they are not the same speices
Are some of the potential problems with inbreeding?
less population
If the actual allele frequencies in a population do not match genotype frequencies predicted by the Hardy Weinberg equation what is the population?
The population is evolving.
What is the basis of inbreeding depression?
Inbreeding depression is the reduced fitness of a population caused by inbreeding. Inbreeding reduces genetic diversity, meaning populations are less genetically adaptable - and greatly increases the chances of genetic diseases and disorders. Inbreeding is most commonly associated with reduced reproductive and viability traits.
Does inbreeding result in offspring that are heterozygous for most traits?
Inbreeding results in offspring that are homozygous for most traits - the variability tends to be bred out of the population.
What does the Hardy Weinberg principle predict?
Genotype frequencies in a population.
What does it mean for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
It is a situation where allele frequencies remain constant.

A population in which allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation is said to be in?
A population in which the allele frequencies do not change from one generation to the next is said to be in equilibrium.
What is the process called when allele frequencies in a population of a species change over time?
Evolution; the change in allele frequencies over time in a population of organisms.
Aside from poor eye sight hereditary balding and lower iq scores not to be confused with memory what other effects are caused by population inbreeding?
While inbreeding can result in many unwanted results it is also a powerful method of concentrating positive characteristics. A natural form of inbreeding, genetic drift, occurred in many smaller isolated cultures which results in a rapid change in a population in a very few generations. While there are inherent danger in inbreeding the effects are not always deleterious.
