In terms of a population, evolution is just the change of allele frequencies over time. Natural selection can cause certain advantageous alleles to increase in frequency, and detrimental alleles to decrease in frequency.

Changes in the genetic makeup?
Organic evolution.
Was Genetic drift a factor in the diversity and evolution of humans?
False, was.
Discuss the importance of genetic duplication in chordate evolution?
The importance of genetic duplication in chordate evolution is that it eliminates the possibility of extinction. This is by generation of new cells which will keep evolving to preserve the species.
If genetic mutation almost always leads to sterilization and death then how can evolution be true?
Genetic mutation does not always lead to sterilization as you point out. This however is not the way evolution happens. Evolution occurs mainly through small adaptive changes over a long period of time that are not mutations. Evolution does not happen suddenly.
What process is thought to have changes the genetic over billion of years?
evolution
What is evolution genetic terms?
Any change over time in the relative frequency of alleles in a population.
What genetic change is always a result of evolution?
Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.
What is the slow change in the genetic composition of a whole species over a long period?
Evolution--basically anything that is "change over time" in the terms you are thinking is evolution.
What indicates that evolution is occurring in a population in genetic terms?
In terms of a population, evolution is just the change of allele frequencies over time. Natural selection can cause certain advantageous alleles to increase in frequency, and detrimental alleles to decrease in frequency.
A random change in a population's allele frequency?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
Are adaptation genetic?
Yes, physical adaptions are genetic, it's called evolution.
Does polyploidy provide genetic basis in evolution?
no
Changes in the genetic makeup?
Organic evolution.
What is genetic evolution?
Genetic evolution refers to the variations in inherited traits of biological populations over successive generations. It is also referred to as the selfish gene theory.
What is a part of macro-evolution?
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
What is the genetic definition of evolution?
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
What kinds of phenotypic are the results of evolution?
Changes that are genetic
