rate of evolution

Question 1

what does it mean if the selection pressure is high?

Answer 1

rate of evolution is high

Question 2

what happens if the rate of evolution is increased?

Answer 2

shorter generation time
warmer environments
sharing of beneficial DNA sequences

Question 3

what do you need for evolution to occur?

Answer 3

variation
selection
time

Question 4

what is selection pressure?

Answer 4

factor in internal or external environment

reduces reproductive success of a population

Question 5

what is the effect of shorter generation time?

Answer 5

more generations in a set period of time
each cycle requires DNA replication
mutations occur during meiosis and DNA replication

Question 6

effect of warmer climates

Answer 6

exters selection pressure on all organisms

heat tolerant will have an advantage carry gene on

Question 7

what is horizontal gene transfer?

Answer 7

sharing of beneficial DNA sequences between sexual reproduction- creates variation

Question 8

what does increase in variation allow in a population

Answer 8

adapt to changing environmental condition
