16
Q

Allopatric speciation

A

Geographical barrier cause reproduction isolation and given time will cause the species to diverge

17
Q

Sympatric speciation

A

In ancestral species by ploidy changes or change in ecological preferences

Autopolyploidy- plant self replicates

Alopilyploudy - two related species form offspring that cannot perform meiosis.

18
Q

Rapid speciation due to expansion into available niches is

A

Adaptive radiation

19
Q

Hybrid zone’s three options

A

Fusion - they merge
Reinforcement - they remain separate
Stability - separate populations with hybrids present.

20
Q

Charles Darwin’s species idea

A

Phyletic gradualism

21
Q

Oldest known eukaryotic org

A

1.75 bya

22
Q

Oldest known animal fossils

A

565 mya

23
Q

Oldest known fossils

A

3.5 bya

24
Q

Evidence of sexual reproduction

A

1.1 bya

25
Q

Oldest plant fossils

A

425 mya

26
Q

Fossils of tetrads show

A

Meiosis occurring - sexual reproduction.

27
Q

Exaption

A

Feathers from scales

28
Q

Heterochrony

A

Change in timing - retention of juvenile traits

29
Q

Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

A

Done

30
Q

Three types of taxa

A

Monophyletic - contains all ancestors and descendants

Paraphyletic - contains some by not all descendants

Polyphyletic - includes descendants of two different ancestral org.

31
Q

Homologous vs homoplastic structures

A

1- similar from common ancestor that is adapted for different purposes.

2- look similar but came from different ancestries

32
Q

Convergent evolution causes homoplastic

A

Done

33
Q

Synapomorphies

A

Mammary glands in domain Eukarya. Shared derived features

34
Q

Symplesiomorphy

A

Mammoth glands in the kingdom mammalia - shared ancestral feature

35
Q

Clades use synapomorphies

A

Did.

36
Q

Principle of parsimony with clades

A

Select the simplest explanation by using the fewest amount of homologies that you can
