What are the definitions for various genetic terms?
Understand the Problem
The image contains definitions and explanations of various biological concepts related to genetics, such as alleles, genetic drift, and evolution.
Answer
Allele: different gene version; allele frequency: percentage in gene pool; bottleneck effect: reduced population size affecting genetics; codominance: both alleles dominant; crossing over: genetic exchange during meiosis.
Allele is a different version of a gene. Allele frequency is the percentage of each allele in a gene pool. Bottleneck effect occurs when population size is drastically reduced, altering genetic variation. Codominance is when both alleles are equally dominant. Crossing over involves genetic exchange during meiosis.
