What is a detrimental gene?
A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
Which term describes the movement of alleles into out of a population?
Gene flow
The different forms of a trait that a gene may have are called?
Alleles
Do humans have alleles?
It's the other way around: natural selection is the natural process that causes the frequencies of occurence of alleles in the population gene pool to shift.
What is a process that eliminate harmful alleles from a gene pool?
negative selection.
Which is a process that eliments harmful alleles from a gene pool?
natural selection
What is the process in which two alleles separates from a gene?
Segregation
What does not add new alleles to a population gene pool?
1.Which does not add new alleles to a population gene pool?
Different versions of the same gene are called?
Different versions of the same gene are called
Different or alternative forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles are alternate forms of the same gene. A gene is the basic physical unit of heredity that is passed on from a parent to their children.
How alleles and genes related?
Genes and alleles are related because alleles are inside a gene. Genes are made up by alleles. A gene is DNA. The allele is like piece of DNA inside a gene.
Different forms of a gene?
the alternative form of a gene is called an "allele."
What is a detrimental gene?
A deleterious mutation has a negative effect on the phenotype, and thus decreases the fitness of the organism. (A harmful mutation)
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
Which term describes the movement of alleles into out of a population?
Gene flow
Difference between a gene and an allele?
The alleles are the different forms of the gene. This is simplified, but an example might be, if the gene is "eye color," the alleles would be "green, blue, brown, etc." The variations in the gene are the alleles.
