Evolution | Genetic Variation | Natural Selection | The Biological Species Concept | Speciation |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is evolution
The term that refers to “decent with modification”
|
What is genetic variation
The concept of differences among individuals in the composition of their genes.
|
What is natural selection
The basis of this term is based on differential success in survival and reproduction or “survival of the fittest”
|
What is the biological species concept
This idea is a group of population whose members have the potential to interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring- but don’t produce viable, fertile with members of other such groups.
|
What is speciation
This idea is the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.
|
What is Charles Darwin
Who is known to study and prove evolution, ushering in a scientific revolution?
|
What is mutation
The term that affects genetic variation by creating new alleles.
|
What is captive evolution
The process that can be the product of natural selection. Defined by a process in which traits that enhance survival or reproduction tend to increase in frequency over time.
|
What is Reproductive isolation
The existence of biological factors that impede members of 2 species from interbreeding.
|
What is allopatric speciation
This type of speciation is when the gene flow is interrupted when a population is divided into geographically isolated subpopulations.
|
What is paleontology
The study of fossils
|
What is a gene pool
All the copies of every type of allele at every locus in all members of a population.
|
What is genetic drift
The process of allelic frequencies to fluctuate unpredictably from one generation to the next.
|
What is Habitat Isolation, temporal isolation, behavioral isolation, mechanical isolation, gametic isolation, reduced hybrid viability, reduced hybrid fertility, or hybrid breakdown
List 2 examples of reproductive isolation.
|
What is sympatric speciation
This type of speciation occurs within populations that live in the same geographic location.
|
What is HMS Beagle
The ship in which charles Darwin traveled the world in and studied int he Galápagos.
|
What is mutation, gene duplication, or Sexual Reproduction
Name at least 2 sources of Genetic Variation
|
What is Sexual selection
The term in which individuals with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to obtain mates.
|
What is the ecological species concept
The sum of how members of a species interact with non living and living parts of the environment
|
Punctuated Equilibria
The periods where speciation is measured as a sudden change.
|
What is Finches
What birds did Darwin study in the Galapagos. Which he measured their beak sizes and compared them to evolution.
|
What is p^2+2pq+q^2
Write the equation for the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium
|
What is Gene flow
The transfer of alleles in or out of a population due to the movement of fertile individuals or their gametes
|
What is the evolution of reproductive isolation
What would be an example of a limitation of the biological species concept.
|
Hybrid Zones
The geographic location where separate species meet and mate, producing mixed ancestry
