Genetics and Evolution Introduction

Inherited variation can influence survival and reproduction. Across generations, natural selection can change populations.

What to remember

  • Variation exists within populations.
  • Some variation is heritable.
  • Selection acts on phenotypes.
  • Successful reproduction affects future allele frequencies.
  • Populations change across generations.

Key words

variation — differences among individuals
heritable — able to be passed genetically
natural selection — differential survival/reproduction
population — interbreeding group
phenotype — observable characteristics
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
