Evolution Genetic Variation Natural Selection The Biological Species Concept Speciation
100
What is evolution
The term that refers to “decent with modification”
100
What is genetic variation
The concept of differences among individuals in the composition of their genes.
100
What is natural selection
The basis of this term is based on differential success in survival and reproduction or “survival of the fittest”
100
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.
100
What is speciation
This idea is the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.
200
What is Charles Darwin
Who is known to study and prove evolution, ushering in a scientific revolution?
200
What is mutation
The term that affects genetic variation by creating new alleles.
200
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.
200
What is Reproductive isolation
The existence of biological factors that impede members of 2 species from interbreeding.
200
What is allopatric speciation
This type of speciation is when the gene flow is interrupted when a population is divided into geographically isolated subpopulations.
300
What is paleontology
The study of fossils
300
What is a gene pool
All the copies of every type of allele at every locus in all members of a population.
300
What is genetic drift
The process of allelic frequencies to fluctuate unpredictably from one generation to the next.
300
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.
300
What is sympatric speciation
This type of speciation occurs within populations that live in the same geographic location.
400
What is HMS Beagle
The ship in which charles Darwin traveled the world in and studied int he Galápagos.
400
What is mutation, gene duplication, or Sexual Reproduction
Name at least 2 sources of Genetic Variation
400
What is Sexual selection
The term in which individuals with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to obtain mates.
400
What is the ecological species concept
The sum of how members of a species interact with non living and living parts of the environment
400
Punctuated Equilibria
The periods where speciation is measured as a sudden change.
500
What is Finches
What birds did Darwin study in the Galapagos. Which he measured their beak sizes and compared them to evolution.
500
What is p^2+2pq+q^2
Write the equation for the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium
500
What is Gene flow
The transfer of alleles in or out of a population due to the movement of fertile individuals or their gametes
500
What is the evolution of reproductive isolation
What would be an example of a limitation of the biological species concept.
500
Hybrid Zones
The geographic location where separate species meet and mate, producing mixed ancestry
