11[blank_start]Anagenesis[blank_end]: Gradual change in one lineage over time, no branching speciation event.
- AAnagenesis
12[blank_start]Cladogenesis[blank_end]: Division of a single lineage into two lineages, a branching event.
- ACladogenesis
13[blank_start]Stasis[blank_end]: No change in a lineage over time, population is in equilibrium or stabilizing selection.
- AStasis
14[blank_start]Phyletic gradualism[blank_end]: Gradual change in the morphology of a population of organisms through time, anagenetic, cladogenetic, or both.
- APhyletic gradualism
15[blank_start]Punctuated equilibrium[blank_end]: The morphology of most species is in equilibrium for long periods of time, punctuated by rapid morphological and genetic shifts that result in the formation of new species.
- APunctuated equilibrium
16Chromosome
- ASection of DNA coding for specific trait.
- BDNA molecules on the nucleus arranged into structures.
- CAlternative version of a gene.
17Gene
- ASection of DNA coding for specific trait.
- BAlternative version of a gene.
- CDNA molecules on the nucleus arranged into structures.
18An allele is an alternative version of a gene.
- AVerdadero

19A dominant allele is expressed when only one copy is present, a recessive allele is expressed when two copies are present.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
20Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual.

22[blank_start]Homozygous[blank_end]: same allele at a certain locus for a gene on both chromosomes
- AHomozygous
23A [blank_start]directional selection[blank_end] is a force in nature that causes a population to evolve towards one end of a trait spectrum. e.g.
- Adirectional selection
24[blank_start]Stabilizing selection[blank_end] is any selective force or forces which push a population toward the average, or median trait.
- AStabilizing selection
