8. evolution Flashcards
biogeography
using continents drifting to show evolution
embryology
using ontogeny (development stages) among related species to do phylogeny
homologous structure
body parts that look the same but different species but COMMON ANCESTOR
analogous / homeoplasies structure
body parts that look same but just same environment
analogous vs homologous
ask if its same class (mammals). if not, then analogous
sexual dimorphism
disruptive selection due to too much sexual selection
balanced polymorphism
two or more phenotypes. adds variation
hybrid vigor
good survival of hybrid. usually due to heterozygous advantage
natural selection
changes allele frequencies
gene flow
new alleles changes from immigration or emigration
genetic drift
small population fluctuating alleles
founder effect
alleles are different of migrating group by chance
bottleneck
genetic drift vulnerable from natural disaster
nonrandom mating
choose mates on traits. like inbreeding, or sexual selection
hardy weinberg
no allele changes.
