== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Conservation Genetics''' β The use of genetic theory and techniques to reduce the risk of extinction in threatened species. * '''Genetic Diversity''' β The total variety of genes within a single species. * '''Inbreeding Depression''' β The reduced survival and reproduction caused by "Mating with Relatives," which brings out hidden genetic diseases. * '''Genetic Bottleneck''' β A sharp reduction in the size of a population, which destroys most of its genetic variety (e.g., Cheetahs). * '''Founder Effect''' β When a new population is started by a very small number of individuals, leading to a permanent loss of diversity. * '''Effective Population Size (Ne)''' β The number of individuals in a population who are actually contributing genes to the next generation (usually much smaller than the total count). * '''Allele''' β A specific version of a gene. * '''Genomics''' β The study of the entire DNA sequence (genome) of an organism. * '''Gene Flow''' β The movement of genes from one population to another (e.g., an animal migrating and breeding with a new group). * '''Environmental DNA (eDNA)''' β DNA collected from the environment (water, soil, air) to detect the presence of rare animals without seeing them. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
