Evolution

Question 1

Microevolution

Answer 1

Smaller scale, population level, changes in allele frequency in population over time via mutation, natural selection, genetic drift or gene flow

Question 2

Macroevolution

Answer 2

Larger scale, above species level, changes during the history of life, zoom out
-Origin of mammals

Question 3

Evidence of evolution

Answer 3

Fossils; show progression of evolution over time

Question 4

Anatomy and embryology

Answer 4

Presence of structures in organism that share the same form also provide evidence for decent from common ancestor

• Over time evolution leads to changes in shapes and sizes but overall layout is reserved
• Homologous

Question 5

Vestigial

Answer 5

Structures that are the remnants from evolution

Question 6

Embryonic development

Answer 6

similarities in genome to those who are closely related

Question 7

Biogeography

Answer 7

geographic distribution, see related species spread over different parts of the world if they evolved when continents connected
-unique species in isolation i.e. marsupials

Question 8

Molecular biology

Answer 8

DNA sequences to reconstruct ancestry of organisms

Question 9

Natural selection

Answer 9

Darwin, 1. variation 2. heredity 3. different reproductive health

Question 10

Eumelanin

Answer 10

dark brown/black hair

Question 11

Pheomelanin

Answer 11

light reddish brown

Question 12

MC1R protein

Answer 12

Binds to melanocyte cell, stimulating hormone production which leads to eumelanin production

Question 13

Melanocyte

Answer 13

specialized pigment producing cells
