Microevolution Changes within Populations Pt 2
The Agents of Microevolution Gene Flow Introduces New Alleles into Populations Genetic Drift Reduces genetic Variability within Populations Mutations Are Random and Create Genetic Novelty Natural Selection Shapes Genetic Variability by Favoring Some Traits over Others Non-random Mating Inbreeding Reduces Heterozygosity Sexual Selection Often Exaggerates Showy Structures in Males Maintaining Genetic and Phenotypic Variation Diploid Can Hide Recessive Alleles from the Action of Natural Selection Balancing Section Maintains More Than One Allele
