Natural Selection And Evolution Flashcards
Selective agent
Env.tal factor that act on pop during natural selection
Biodiversity
Number and range of diff species that exist on a Earth or in ecosystem
Genetic isolation
Keeping interbreeding groups apart by some barrier or mechanism
Analogous structures
Structure appear similar or have similar function but controlled by diff genes
Homologous structure
Can have similar function or not but controlled by saying me of same inherited genes
Cross-breeding
Selective breeding by combining desirable feature of one individual with another in offspring
Mutation
Change in nucleotide sequence in a gene or chromosome
Pentadactyl limb
Limb with 5 digits
Adaptation
Process of change by which org/ species becomes better suited to its Env
Artificial selective
Process by which ppl choose to breed partic organism with desirable features - selective breeding
Evolution
Genetic change in characteristics in species over many gens, resulting formation new species
