BIOEB101 The Theory of Evolution 1/3/23 Flashcards
Adaption
Adapting to an environment/climate
Allele
Forms of a gene (part of Dna strand) via mutation
Evolution
Development of the planet and organisms/humans
Genotype
The genetics of an individual
Phenotype
The facial outside look of an individual due to varaition
Homozygous
Two identical alleles of a gene
Heterzygous
Two non identical alleles of a gene
Natural Selection
Adaption and change of populations
Population Theory
Growth of food and populations
Heritability
Parent to offspring qualities/characteristics
Variation
Change in genes, looks from parent to offspring due to heaps of factors
Differential reproduction
More offspring produced due to survival/ reproduction
Mutations
Mutating in genetics good or bad
Homology
Similarity’s in all structure eg humans to apes
Biogeography
Geo distribution of plants and animals
Sexual recombination
Parental DNA mixes to create offspring
Environment dictates fitness
Fitness meaning reproductive success in an environment
Evolutionary adaptions
Organisms adjust with changes in evolution
Orthogenesis
Member’s of successful species evolve in direction/timeline
Theological
Religious belief in evolution
Lamarckian Evolution
Parents pass traits they acquired in their life, like muscles
Heritable characteristics
Measure of variation in others
Homologous structures
Anatomical body structures that look different in humans/animals but provide same use. Like a femur bone
