Final Flashcards
Micro evolution
Any allele may increase or decrease in frequency in a population
Non random mating
Individuals of one genotype reproduce more often with each other
Genetic drift
When a small group separates from the larger whole
Speciation
Process by which new species form.
Reproductive isolating mechanisms are always part of the process.
Reproductive isolation
The end of gene exchange between populations
Beginning of speciation.
Allopatric speciation
Physical barrier arises and ends gene flow between populations.
Sympatric speciation
New species form within a home range if an existing species in the absence of a physical barrier.
Parapatric speciation
Populations in contact song a common border evolve into distinct species
Stasis
A lineage exists for millions of years with little or no change
Natural populations are never in?
Genetic equilibrium
Consist of stems leaves and flowers
Transports things
Photosynthesis
Shoots
Absorption of water
Transport if water
Storage if food
Interacts with soil and fungi
Root
Meristems
Where tissues originate
Apical meristem
Tips of roots and stems responsible for growth and elongation
Responsible for the increase in diameter of older roots and attend
Lateral meristem
Ground tissue
Makes up bulk of the plant body
Vascular tissue
Contains two kinds of conducting tissues that distribute water and solutes through the plant body
Dermal tissue
Covers and protects the plants surface
Phloem
Transports sugars and other solutes throughout the plant body
Sieve tube members
Located in the phloem
Connects cytoplasm of adjacent cells
