Q

Homologe Strukturen

A

Homologous Structures (Structures that look different but came from the same origin)

18
Q

Hybride Unfruchtbarkeit

A

Hybrid Infertility (Two different species can mate but they can not reproduce themselves)

19
Q

Hybride Inviabilität

A

Hybrid Inviability (Two different species can mate but they can not produce an offspring that will survive)

20
Q

Hybridenzusammenbruch

A

Hybrid Breakdown (First generation of two species can reproduce BUT the second generation can not reproduce)

21
Q

Makroevolution

A

Macroevolution (When evolution happens on a large scale such that different species evolve into different species)

22
Q

Mechanische Isolation

A

Mechanical Isolation (Two different species can not mate because their reproductive structures do not fit with each other)

23
Q

Microevolution

A

Microevoltution (When evolution happens on a small scale, often changes within a species)

24
Q

Mimikry

A

Mimicry (When an organism adapts physical traits of another organism to get some type of evolutionary advantage)

25
Q

Natürliche Auslese

A

Natural Selection (Inherited trait chosen by the environment)

26
Q

Paläontologie

A

Palaeontology (The branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants)

27
Q

Phylogenese

A

Phylogeny (The history of how species have developed)

28
Q

Postzygotischer Isolationsmechanismus

A

Postzygotic Isolating Mechanism (Things that prevent species from forming after the sperm and egg have joined

29
Q

Präzygotischer Isolationsmechanismus

A

Prezygotic Isolating Mechanism (Things that prevent a sperm and egg from joining)

30
Q

Primat

A

Primate (Advanced mammals that stand upright and grasp tools)

31
Q

Punktiertes Gleichgewicht

A

Punctuated Equilibrium (A theory of evolution that says species only change at certain times)

32
Q

Radioisotop

A

Radioisotope (A radioactive isotope that can be used to determine the age of a fossil)

33
Q

Selektive Züchtung

A

Selective Breeding (Humans choose what traits they want in different species)

34
Q

Sexuelle Auslese

A

Sexual Selection (Certain traits evolve more commomly in certain species because those individuals are more attractive to their mates)

35
Q

Speziation, Artbildung

A

Speciation (Forming a new species)

36
Q

Stabilisierende Selektion

A

Stabilizing Selection (Environment causes trait to stay the same)

37
Q

Überleben des Stärksten

A

Survival of the Fittest (Species change over time and go on to reproduce because of influence of the environment)

38
Q

Zeitliche Isolation

A

Temporal Isolation (When two species can not reproduce because they mate at different times)

39
Q

Verkümmerte Merkmale

A

Vestigial Features (Structures that no longer have a function)
