Evolution Terms

Question 1

Reproductively isolated

Answer 1

Species

Question 2

What are the three genetic factors within a species

Answer 2

1. Nonviable (offspring die)
2. (Infertile) offspring are unable to reproduce
3. Behavioral, geographical, and physical

Question 3

Another name for breeding

Answer 3

Artificial selection

Question 4

The study of similar characteristics between organisms

Answer 4

Homology

This is what made Darwin think that all organism were from a similar ansestor

Question 5

If you look back at bones of ancient organisms, there are more similarities than there are between bones today

Answer 5

Fossil record

Question 6

What did scientist LaMarck believe?

Answer 6

Changes you made to yourself during your lifetime are passed on to offspring

Question 7

It is passed on through populations, not through individuals

Answer 7

Adaptation

Like the finch beaks

Question 8

How a population changes over time

Answer 8

Natural selection

Question 9

What are the five components of natural selection?

Answer 9

1. More offspring born than survive?
2. Not all the offspring are the same (variation)
3. Some traits helps an organism survive and the same treat helps another organism die
4. Different survivability
5. Different reproduction changes (Gene frequency)

Question 10

what favors traits best suitable for a specific environment?

Answer 10

Natural selection

Question 11

What are the two ways variation occurs?

Answer 11

1. Genetic randomness/combinations

2. Mutations

Question 12

What is evolution?

Answer 12

Changes in gene frequency

Question 13

When does genetic randomness occur (2 occasions)

Answer 13

a) meiosis- different gamete combos

b) prophase 1 of meiosis (crossing over and shuffling)

Question 14

What are the four ways of mutation?

Answer 14

Inversion, duplication, deletion, translocation

Question 15

What is it called when the species spread out to different environments and the environment selects which trait is best suitable (dominant traits)

Answer 15

Adaptive radiation

Question 16

When 2 different species become very similar because they share an environment

(If the environment changes, the organisms adapt similarly)

Answer 16

Convergence

Question 17

Over time one species ends up in two different locations and become more different

Answer 17

Divergence

Question 18

Where two similar species in the same environment share similar changes at the same time

Answer 18

Parallel evolution

Question 19

Where one species changes because another species changes

Answer 19

Co evolution

Question 20

Adaptation happens….

Answer 20

With a population over a long time period

Question 21

Natural selection is how Darwin proposed…

Answer 21

That there could be changes like adaptation

Question 22

In the fossil record, there tend to be long periods of ball ands, and the suddenly, lots of change

Answer 22

Punctuated equilibrium

Question 23

There weren’t many animals on earth the suddenly lots of different species showed up

Answer 23

Cambodian explosion

Question 24

How evolution happens

Answer 24

Evolution mechanism

Question 25

How does evolution occur?

Answer 25

Breeding and natural selection

Question 26

Evolution happens through…

Answer 26

Mutations, migration, genetic drift

Question 27

Where the gene pool is moved

Random change in gene pool over time

Answer 27

Genetic drift

Question 28

The recombination of allele Paris in an individual changes the gene pool

Answer 28

Genetic recombination
