Document Summary

Diversification of a group of organisms from an ancestral species into new forms. Alternative forms of a gene from mutation and are found in the same place on a chromosome. Relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. Individual whose chromosomes are composed of more than two genomes. Individual whose chromosome complement consists of more than two complete copies of the genome of a single ancestral species. A genetic mutation that produces a beneficial effect. A sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events. Earthquakes, floods, fires chromosome rearrangement which a segment of chromosome is reversed end to end. This occurs when a single chromosome breaks and rearranges within itself. Abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes. A genetic alteration that increases the susceptibility to a certain disease or disorder. Two complete sets of chromosomes (1 from each parent)
