whats a transitional form between bipedal dinos and birds
archaeopteryx
adaptation vs variation
adaptaion=product of natural selection and always good
variation=basis of natural selection and can be good or bad
whats adaptive radiation
the divergent evolution and adaptation of species to different roles in new habitats
example of adaptive radiation
galapagos islands-the finches wer egeologially isolated resulting in the new beaks to find food in the different environments
Pre-zygotic barriers-
- mating or fertilization is not successful
mating isolation types
geographic
temporal
behavioral
fertilization isolation types
mechanical
gametic
Post-zygotic barriers-
hybrid have problems with viability, fertility and hybrid breakdown after 1 generation
viablity =
the ability for organixm to survive
hybrid breakdown=
where the initial offspring are fertile and can have offspring but the second generation are sterile
significance of hardy weinberg
shows us allelic frequencies
allow us to assesss whether evolution occurred with a math formula
5 conditions for hardy weinberg equilibrium
1-no gene flow 2-no natural selection 3-no mutation 4-large population 5-random mating
what is phylogeny
branch of biology dealling with
the evolutionary development and diversification of a species or group of organisms, or of a particular feature of an organism.
whats a clado gram
show the relationship among members of a group including common ancestors
based on derived characteristics
whats a phylogenetic tree
a diagram where the horizontal axis represents anatomical difference and the vertical axis represennts time.
