The study of heredity
The stock of different genes in an interbreeding population.
Variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.
The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
The nucleotide triplets of DNA and RNA molecules that carry genetic information in living cells.
