Why do population have variations in certain traits?
For one thing, different individuals have different alleles.
What are Darwin's four postulates?
1. There is variation in individuals within a species 2. Variation ensures that individuals that are better suited to their environment will survive. 3. Traits that assist individuals in survival and allow them to reprduce gradually spread throughout population. 4. Individuals produce more offspring than the local resources can support.
What is the process called when humans intentionally allow individuals with certain traits to breed while not breeding other individuals who lack these traits while breeding animals such as dogs?
The common name would be 'selective breeding'.
The form of a combination of two traits that may be hidden is called a trait?
recessive
What is the process by which of the best suited individuals can survive in their environment?
In science, this sometimes called the survival of the fittest or natural selection.If all individuals in a species are not exactly clones of each other but have small variations in the genes (traits), some will do better when the environment changes. These traits will be 'favored' over other traits.
What is phenotype frequency?
A ratio of individuals with a particular phenotype to the total number of individuals in the population. Individuals with certain phenotype --------------------------------------------------- (Over) Total # of individuals within the population The distribution of traits in a population
What are individuals observeable traits called?
Phenotype
What tends to result in a population whose individuals have extreme traits?
Natural selection can lead to extreme traits in a population if those traits provide a significant advantage in survival or reproduction. Genetic drift can also lead to extreme traits if there are random fluctuations in the frequency of alleles in a population. Additionally, sexual selection can drive the evolution of extreme traits if individuals with those traits are preferred as mates.

The combination of masculine and feminine traits is called?
This is called Androgyny
What is differential survival and reproduction among individuals of a population that vary in details of shared traits?
Natural Selection.

Selection favors one extreme form of a trait in a population.?
Tends to result in a population whose individuals have extreme traits is what? ----> it is directional selection
What is the process called pairing individuals to breed for certain traits?
Basically selective breeding...
