Evolution

Question 1

Mechanisms of Evolution

Answer 1

Mutation, Gene Flow, Genetic Drift, and Natural Selection

Question 2

Mutation

Answer 2

A change in DNA sequence
Ex. Mongol adults ability to digest dairy

Question 3

Gene Flow

Answer 3

Movement of genes in/out of populations
Ex. The harlequin beetle

Question 4

Genetic Drift

Answer 4

Random changes in gene pool
Ex. The genocide of different groups

Question 5

Natural Selection

Answer 5

Populations adapting to surroundings and passing offsprings their abilities
Ex. Africanized Honey Bees/ Giraffes

Question 6

Evolutionary Sythesis

Answer 6

combo of genetics passed down w/concepts of evolution

Question 7

Law of Independent Assortment

Answer 7

Alleles of diff genes are sorted into individual gametes

Question 8

Law of Segregation

Answer 8

Two copies are segregated and distributed into gametes

Question 9

Law of Codominance

Answer 9

Both alleles are shown in a phenotype

Question 10

Patterns of Natural Selection

Answer 10

Directional, stabilizing, and disruptive

Question 11

Directional

Answer 11

Favors one population more than the other –>

Question 12

Stabilizing

Answer 12

Population stabilizes on one trait and genetic diversity decreases —^—

Question 13

Distrubtive

Answer 13

Extreme values for a trait are favored ——^^^^

Question 14

Darwin

Answer 14

Evolution by Natural Selection

Question 15

Hutton and Lyell

Answer 15

Uniformitarianism: Earths crust changes by continuous and uniform processes

Question 16

Thomas Malthus

Answer 16

5 observations on how growth of populations are limited (even humans)
