phenomenon
evolutionary trap
When previously adaptive traits become maladaptive due to rapid environmental change, such that organisms are attracted to resources that reduce their fitness
phenomenon
pleiotropic effects
When single genes or alleles influence multiple, seemingly unrelated traits
phenomenon
adaptive polymorphism
Genetic variation maintained in populations by natural selection where different alleles are favored under different conditions
phenomenon
chromosomal inversion
Chromosomal rearrangement where a segment is reversed in orientation, potentially suppressing recombination and maintaining linkage between beneficial alleles
