20
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
Q

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

A

Use and disuse

26
Q

Modified traits of organisms can be passed on from one generation to another

A

Inheritance of acquired traits

27
Q

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

A

Survival of the fittest

28
Q

Happens when the frequencies of alleles in a group undergo changes

A

Microevolution

29
Q

Caused by natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and gene

A

Microevolution

30
Q

Process wherejn different environmental pressure leads to different ways of survival

A

Natural selection

31
Q

Shift alleles frequencies caused by the change in the condition of the environment

A

Directional selection

32
Q

Different form of gene

A

Alleles

33
Q

A person has _ Alleles of a gene

A

Two

34
Q

Happens when a middle form of trait is chosen and the extreme forms are eliminated

A

Stabilizing selection

35
Q

Occurs if the extreme forms of trait are favored more than others

A

Disruptive selection

36
Q

Change in gene pool of a group

A

Genetic drift

37
Q

Total collection of gene in a population

A

Gene pool

38
Q

It will result in a drastic reduction of population size

A

Bottleneck effect

39
Q

Happens after a small group of organisms form a new group, where their allele frequencies differ from the original population

A

Founder effect

40
Q

Present when there is a change in the DNA of an organism, resulting in the formation of a new allele

A

Mutation

41
Q

It is the movement of alleles in a group of organisms

A

Gene flow

42
Q

Refers to the large scale changes that leads to an evolution of organisms from simple to complex

A

Macroevolution

43
Q

Is a result of various factors; these factors all lead to the disappearance of vast number of organisms

A

Mass extinction

44
Q

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

A

Adaptive radiation

45
Q

Happens when two isolated population evolve separately

A

Divergent evolution

46
Q

Process where a new species will be created

A

Speciation

47
Q

Happens when unrelated organisms seem to look like each other

A

Convergent evolution

48
Q

Resulting similarity among organisms

A

Analogy

49
Q

Happens when two different interacting organisms evolve jointly due to the changes in each other

A

Coevolution
