Refers to mating regardless of the other individual’s genotype/phenotype. Random mating true Crossingover false Mutation false Silence false Single Sister chromatids will have some regions exchanged, resulting in recombinant chromosomes. Missense false Crossingover true Mutation false Silence false Single Known as the “ultimate source of genetic variations” among individuals. It is also one of the mechanisms of evolution other than natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Missense false Nonsense false Mutation true Silence false Single A mutation that happens when the change in codon does not affect the resulting amino acid. Missense false Nonsense false Duplication false Silence true Single A mutation where the change in the single nucleotide can change the corresponding amino acid. Missense true Nonsense false Duplication false Genetic Drift false Single Mutation where the change in the single nucleotide would result in a stop codon which may terminate the translation process prematurely, creating a nonfunctional protein. Geneflow false Nonsense true Duplication false Genetic Drift false Single Can happen in segments of a chromosome or even as extreme as genome duplication. Geneflow false Gene swamping false Duplication true Genetic Drift false Single The mechanism of evolution where chance events affect the frequency of alleles in a small population. Geneflow false Gene swamping false Random mating false Genetic Drift true Single Mechanism where genes are introduced to a population from another population through migration (animals) or movement of gametes (pores of plants) resulting in the mixing of genetic material. Geneflow true Gene swamping false Random mating false Crossingover false Single In some cases where the genotypes being introduced or exchanged are nonadaptive, gene flow becomes a constraint to evolution as it limits natural selection.
