Evolution is non-random changes in gene and allele frequencies within a population or species. Random changes can be caused by: 1) 2) 3)
3
Change to allele _______________as a result of chance is called genetic drift. In a small populations, this change plays a _______________role for altering allele frequencies. Spinner
4
Bottleneck Effect – When a drastic _____________in population occurs (often temporary) it usually results in significant genetic drift.
5
When a few individuals from a _________ population leave to establish a ________ population, the resulting genetic drift is a ______________________. With self-pollinating plants entire population can be established by one seed.
6
When alleles ________ from one population to another population, they _________ the alleles frequency of both. This movement of allele is called a gene flow. Unlike genetic drift, gene flow tends to ____________ differences between populations.
7
Mutations are the result of _____________ changes in DNA sequence or chromosome breakage and rejoining. They are the only source of __________________ genetic material and new alleles Only the mutation that occurs in ________________ can pass on the new phenotype.

9
Mostly ___________and has no immediate effect on an individual’s fitness. _____________ refers to the lifetime reproductive success of an individual. Usually occurs when a cell loses the ability to ____________a properly functioning protein or when major chromosomal changes badly affect meiosis and mitosis, and it reduces an individual’s fitness.
10
Occurs when cell gains the ability to produce a ______ or ______________ protein, which gives an individual a selective advantage of, increased reproductive success.
