Biology 10 Flashcards
Species
Can bread and produce viable offspring
Natural selection
Artificial selection
Heritability
Struggle for survival
Principles of natural selection
Variation
Overproduction
Adaptation
Descent w/ modification
Evidence of evolution
Fossils
Geography
Embryology
Anatomy
Anatomy
Homologous structure
Analogous structure
Vestigial structure
Homologous
same structure but different functions
Analogous structure
different structures but similar functions
Vestigial Structures
Under-developed/ unused structure
Genetic variation
increases the chance that some individuals will survive. Stored in the populations gene pool
Gene pool
all combined alleles of all individuals
Sources of genetic variation
Mutations and recombination
recombination
Get new allele combination in offspring. Occurs during meiosis
3 ways natural selection can change distribution trait
Directional, stabalizing, disruptive
Mechanisms of evolution
Gene flow
Gene Drift
Sexual selection
Gene flow
Movement of alleles from one population to another.
Increases GV
Decrease gene flow makes pop. very different
