Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front adaptive evolution
    Back increase in frequency of beneficial alleles and decrease in deleterious alleles due to selection
  • Front allele frequency
    Back (also, gene frequency) rate at which a specific allele appears within a population
  • Front allopatric speciation
    Back speciation that occurs via geographic separation
  • Front allopolyploid
    Back polyploidy formed between two related, but separate species
  • Front analogy
    Back (also, homoplasy) characteristic that is similar between organisms by convergent evolution, not due to the same evolutionary path

Updated on

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the Key Terms glossaries of chapters 18, 19, 20 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text. Entries were dropped when the definition is shorter than 25 characters, longer than 400 characters, refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, or repeats a definition already kept; a term already used by another Memoquiz deck built from these books was dropped as well, and each deck is capped at 150 entries. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
