Answer 1

formation of new alleles, altering gene number or position, rapid reproduction, sexual reprduction

Question 2

Answer 2

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 =1

Question 3

“point mutation” ? example?

Answer 3

change in one base of a gene, i.e. sick cell

Question 4

The duplication of genes is due to errors in what?

Answer 4

meiosis

Question 5

if gene duplications do not have severe effects it can persist over generations… this leads to?

Answer 5

accumulation of mutation, expands genome i.e.) smell receptors

Question 6

three mechanisms in sexual reproduction that contribute to shuffling of genes

Answer 6

crossing over, independent assortnment of chromosomes, fertilization
