7.4 Population Genetics - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Explain how population genetics studies the genetic composition of populations and how it changes over time.
  • Discuss the roles of mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection in shaping genetic variation in populations.
  • Investigate how factors such as genetic drift and gene flow influence allele frequencies and population structure.
