Q

Known for his theory of inheritance

A

Jean- Baptiste Lamarck

21
Q

Because of his voyage, he was able to provide pieces of evidence to his theory of evolution.

A

Charles Darwin

22
Q

Composed his own theory of common descent based on Darwin’s theory of evolution

A

Alfred Wallace

23
Q

He proposed the theory of extinction based on fossils. Came up with theory of catastrophism

A

George cuvier

24
Q

He coined the term homology “different animals having the same organs but with different forms and function”

A

Richard owen

25
Organisms can modify their existing body parts by using them often until they develop into what they want them to be and those unused part will waste
Use and disuse
26
Modified traits of organisms can be passed on from one generation to another
Inheritance of acquired traits
27
Organisms who will probably survive are those who are stronger or fitter as compared to weak organisms. To successfully adapt to the environment, an organism must be fit enough to survive and reproduce
Survival of the fittest
28
Happens when the frequencies of alleles in a group undergo changes
Microevolution
29
Caused by natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and gene
Microevolution
30
Process wherejn different environmental pressure leads to different ways of survival
Natural selection
31
Shift alleles frequencies caused by the change in the condition of the environment
Directional selection
32
Different form of gene
Alleles
33
A person has _ Alleles of a gene
Two
34
Happens when a middle form of trait is chosen and the extreme forms are eliminated
Stabilizing selection
35
Occurs if the extreme forms of trait are favored more than others
Disruptive selection
36
Change in gene pool of a group
Genetic drift
37
Total collection of gene in a population
Gene pool
38
It will result in a drastic reduction of population size
Bottleneck effect
39
Happens after a small group of organisms form a new group, where their allele frequencies differ from the original population
Founder effect
40
Present when there is a change in the DNA of an organism, resulting in the formation of a new allele
Mutation
41
It is the movement of alleles in a group of organisms
Gene flow
42
Refers to the large scale changes that leads to an evolution of organisms from simple to complex
Macroevolution
43
Is a result of various factors; these factors all lead to the disappearance of vast number of organisms
Mass extinction
44
Refers to the evolution of organisms into several. New ones that are living differently from the original population. Also known as MULTIPLE BRANCHING OF A FAMILY TREE
Adaptive radiation
45
Happens when two isolated population evolve separately
Divergent evolution
46
Process where a new species will be created
Speciation
47
Happens when unrelated organisms seem to look like each other
Convergent evolution
48
Resulting similarity among organisms
Analogy
49
Happens when two different interacting organisms evolve jointly due to the changes in each other
Coevolution
