== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Population Genetics''' β The study of genetic variation within populations and how it changes over time. * '''Gene Pool''' β The set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population. * '''Allele Frequency''' β How common a specific version of a gene (an allele) is in a population. * '''Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium''' β The mathematical "Baseline" where allele frequencies stay the same (meaning no evolution is happening). * '''Natural Selection''' β The process where individuals with "Beneficial" genes survive and reproduce more. * '''Genetic Drift''' β Random changes in allele frequencies that happen by pure chance (much stronger in small populations). * '''Gene Flow''' β The movement of genes from one population to another (Migration). * '''Bottleneck Effect''' β A sharp reduction in the size of a population due to an environmental event, which reduces genetic diversity. * '''Founder Effect''' β When a small group starts a new population, their specific (and sometimes rare) genes become the new standard. * '''Heterozygosity''' β A measure of genetic diversity within a population. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
