Traits controlled by two or more genes are polygenic traits. _________4. Reproductive isolation occurs when members of two populations cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring. _________5. The separation of two populations by barriers such as rivers or mountains results in temporal isolation. _________ 6. The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele frequency in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change. _________7. When two populations can breed but do not because of differences in mating rituals or other similar behaviors, behavioral isolation exists. _________8. Genetic drift is the formation of new species. _________ 9. Geographic isolation is a random change in the allele frequencies of a small population. _________10. Genetic equilibrium occurs when the allele frequencies in a population remain constant. 17.

According to the theory of natural selection, why are some individuals more likely than others to survive and reproduce? (1) Some individuals pass on to their offspring new characteristics they have acquired during their lifetimes. (2) Some individuals are better adapted to exist in their environment than others are. (3) Some individuals do not pass on to their offspring new characteristics they have acquired during their lifetimes. (4) Some individuals tend to produce fewer offspring than others in the same environment. 21.
