Biol 2300 midterm Exam 2025
Questions and Answers
Genet - --CORRECT ANSWER--genetically distinct individual, each derived from
a single zygote (sexual reproduction) [ignores asexual reproduction]
Ramet - --CORRECT ANSWER--Genetically identical, asexually produced
modules that have the potential to exist separately.
Metapopulation - --CORRECT ANSWER--Collection of local population
interacting within the geographical range.
Dispersion - --CORRECT ANSWER--Movement of individuals away from place
of birth or areas of high population density
Emigration - --CORRECT ANSWER--movement of individuals out of a
population
Immigration - --CORRECT ANSWER--Movement of individuals into a
population
rescue effect - --CORRECT ANSWER--source populations in high-quality habitat
allow sink populations to exist in inferior habitat

, Age class - --CORRECT ANSWER--A discrete range of times since birth
(sometimes indicative of important stages of growth). Basically means a group of
individuals within a specific age range.
Cohort - --CORRECT ANSWER--Individuals that makeup a age class
survivorship curve - --CORRECT ANSWER--The number of individuals alive vs
age
net reproductive rate - --CORRECT ANSWER--The sum of mean number of
offspring produced per original individual during each age class before death
Gene flow - --CORRECT ANSWER--The exchange of genetic material among
populations resulting from dispersal
Genetic drift - --CORRECT ANSWER--Random changes in allele frequencies
within a population due to chance.
Inbreeding depression - --CORRECT ANSWER--The loss of vitality and
increased incident of disease due to the expression of deleterious recessive alleles
when genetic diversity decreases.
Effective population size - --CORRECT ANSWER--The number of males and
females within a population that successfully breed
minimum viable population - --CORRECT ANSWER--the number of individuals
necessary to ensure the long-term survival of a species
