Cumulative Review Bio 1 (Patterns of inheritance, Evolutionary change, speciation/extintion) Flashcards
Heterozygous
Individual has inherited two diff. alleles (carrier)
Homozygous
Individual has inherited two same alleles
Dominant Alleles hide..
recessive alleles in the herterozygote
Inherited Recessive Disorders (3)
Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Anemia, Tay Sachs
Test Cross
determine if dominant phenotype is heterozygous or homozygous
Bio Evolution
genetic change in population over time(more or less frequent)
Evolutionary Fitness
reproductive success of organism
Adaptation
trait that increases evolutionary fitness
For Natural Selection to select adaptive traits the adaptive traits must..
already exist in population
Genetic drift can cause what?
evolution (due to chance)
Homologous Structures
organisms that share structures due to common ancestors (fins of a whale and legs of a wolf)
Analogous Structures
organisms share similar structures bc of similar natural selection pressures but evolve independently
Species
Group of organisms that are reproductively isolated (cannot interbreed with other organisms)
New species can arise when?
When populations become reproductively isolated (physical separation-islands/canyons)
Allopatric Speciation
reproduction due to physical separation like islands/ canyons
