Biology Evolution Quiz Flashcards
Plato
All objects on earth imperfect version of ideal object
Smith
Certain fossils always in same layer rock, diff organisms lived in diff parts of time
Lamarck
Simple forme changed to more complex
Aristotle
Great chain of being
Cuvier
Abrupt change in fossils record means catastrophism
Lyell
Theory of uniformity, confirmed Darwin’s theory
Darwin
Theory of evolution by natural selection
Malthus
Wrote essay that started Darwin’s natural selection theory
Buffon
Species originated in more than one place and modified over time
Wallace
arrived at natural selection theory by himself
Unaltered remains
Encrustation, amber entombment, refrigeration
Encrustation
Dissolved minerals form thin crust over (after dissolve we get orignal material)
Amber entombment
Insect trapped in pine resin harden into amber (we get dna sample)
Refrigeration
During ice age, animals trapped in ice (lots of cellular material)
Altered remains
Permineralization; replacement, recrystallization, carbonization
Permineralization
Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)
Permineralization
Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)
Permineralization
Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)
Recrystalization
Original composition change to crystal (great detail)
Carbonization
Under pressure liquid/gas is forced out leaving film of carbon (only outside surface detail)
Trace fossils
Animal tracks, gastroliths, coprolites
Animal tracks
Footprints (calculate stride/how anima moves)
Gastroliths
Herbivores matter in stomach, snooty polished stone (what they ate)
Coprolites
Fossil poops (bones of prey, seeds, plants)
Evidence for evolution
Fossils
Homologus structures
Analogous structures
Vestigial structures
Comparative-embryology
Comparative-biochemistry genetic-evidence
Artificial selection
Industrial melanism
Transitional fossils
Radiometric dating
Homologus structures
Same bone, dif structure
Analogous structure
Same function, dif bone
Vestigial structures
Non function structure
Competitive embryology
Early embryo look the same
Comparative biochemistry genetic evidence
Human dna similar to monkey dna
Artificial selection
Choosing traits so why can’t this happen naturally
Industrial melanism
Moths colour change bc of factories
Transitional fossils
From one animal to another
Agassiz
New creation after each catastrophe
