Module 9

Question 1

Darwin’s postulates

Answer 1

Characteristics are inherited

Too many offspring are produced

The better adapted offspring survive

Question 2

Source for new alleles

Answer 2

Mutation

Question 3

Vestigial structures

Answer 3

Useless structures

Question 4

Biogeography

Answer 4

Distribution of life based on barriers over time development and prices of species on different locations

Question 5

Artificiall selection is also known as

Answer 5

Selective breeding

Question 6

Convergence

Answer 6

Similar structures with no common ancestor

Question 7

Gene pool

Answer 7

All alleles in a species

Question 8

Allopatric speciation

Answer 8

Speciation because of different places

There is dispersion variance and adaptive radiation

Question 9

Sympatric speciation

Answer 9

Speciation that happens in the same place it is usually due to chromosomal differences or reproductive barriers

Question 10

Rates of speciation

Answer 10

Simple Darwinism and punctuated equilibria

Question 11

Simple Darwinism

Answer 11

Slow and steady

Question 12

Punctuated equilibrium

Answer 12

Not slow and steady

Question 13

Population genetics

Answer 13

Genetic composition in different populations

Question 14

Allele frequency

Answer 14

How often in the wheel appears in the population

Question 15

founder effect

Answer 15

Event that starts with a change in allele frequency

Question 16

Hardy Weinberg equation

Answer 16

Helps find allele distribution

Question 17

P squared

Answer 17

Homozygous dominant percentage

Question 18

Q squared

Answer 18

Homozygous recessive percentage

Question 19

2pq

Answer 19

Heterozygous allele

Question 20

Hardy Weinberg equation

Answer 20

P² + 2pq + q²= 1

Question 21

Genetic drift

Answer 21

Allele disappears for no reason

Question 22

Bottleneck

Answer 22

Drastic change severely shrinks the population

Question 23

Answer 27

Abnormal number of chromosomes from same species

Question 28

Sexual selection

Answer 28
