  • Adaptation [r]: Describes the event of a trait being selected by the mechanism of natural selection. [e]
  • Evolution [r]: A change over time in the proportions of individual organisms differing genetically. [e]
  • Genetic drift [r]: Describes how some alleles either increase or decrease in a population due to chance events. [e]
  • Gene flow [r]: The movement of genetic alleles from one population to another. If there is a low gene flow between two populations they may become distinct species. [e]
  • Mutation [r]: Changes to the DNA sequence that cause new genetic variation. [e]
  • Speciation [r]: An event that produces two lineages that become separate species. [e]
