Question 1

Evolution by natural selection

Answer 1

A theory that natural selection results in evolution

Question 2

Evolution

Answer 2

the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.

Question 3

Common garden experiment

Answer 3

indoor or outdoor plantings of species or populations collected from multiple distinct geographic locations, grown together under shared conditions.

Question 4

Coumntergraidiant variation

Answer 4

genetic evolution to compensate to significant environmental pressure that negatively impacts individual fitness

Question 5

Hybridization

Answer 5

Mix of two species genetics

Question 6

Reciprocal transplant experiment

Answer 6

introducing organisms from each of two environments into the other

Question 7

Coevolve

Answer 7

Species influence others to evolve

Question 8

Mutualists

Answer 8

A relationship in which both species are mutually benefited

Question 9

Ecological speciation

Answer 9

the process by which barriers to gene flow evolve between populations as a result of ecologically-based divergent selection between environments

Question 10

Allopathic phase

Answer 10

involves geographic separation of populations from a parent species and subsequent evolution

Question 11

Sympatric phase

Answer 11

involves speciation occurring within a parent species remaining in one location

Question 12

Endemism

Answer 12

the distribution of a taxon limited to a small geographic area and which can therefore be found naturally in this place
