Mechanisms of Evolution Biological Resistance Viruses Natural Selection Types of Evolution
100
What is gene flow?
Migration is an example of this mechanism of evolution.
100
What are antibiotics?
These drugs are used to treat bacterial infections.
100
What is nonliving?
Viruses are considered to be....
100
What is natural selection?
The idea that better adapted individuals will survive, reproduce, and pass their traits on to their offspring
100
What is punctuated equilibrium?
This is when long periods of stability are followed by short periods of rapid growth.
200
What are mutations ?
These are random changes in DNA that result in new traits.
200
What is antibiotic resistance?
This is what happens when bacteria are no longer affected by antibiotics. This is called....
200
What is false?
Viruses can reproduce without a host. This is why they are so deadly. (True or false)
200
What is mutations?
Adaptations are a result of these changes in genetic material
200
What is gradualism?
This is when organisms continually gradually evolve over time.
300
What is genetic drift (bottleneck effect)?
This is what happens after natural disasters, where only a small part of the population survives and reproduces.
300
What is mutations in a bacteria's DNA?
This is what causes antibiotic resistance.
300
What is antibiotics?
In order to treat viral infections, we should not use...
300
What is beneficial ?
When a trait is "selected for" this means that the adaptation is....
300
What is divergent evolution?
This is when one parent species evolves into two new species.
400
What is the founder's effect?
When a part of a population becomes isolated and only a small part of the population starts a new population. This type of genetic drift is called....
400
What is more resistant fruit flies?
A pesticide is sprayed on orange trees to kill fruit flies. Most of the fruit flies die, but a few survive. The survivors have genes that protect them from the pesticide. In the future, there will be...
400
What is false?
Viruses need energy to survive (true or false)
400
What is not beneficial?
When a trait is "selected against" this means that the adaptation is....
400
What is coevolution?
This is when two species evolve together to maintain an evolutionary relationship.
500
What is increase?
This is what happens to genetic diversity when gene flow takes place
500
What is resistance?
This is why a pesticide lose its effectiveness over time. The populations develops this...
500
What is wash your hands, stay home when sick, wear a mask?
These are some ways that we can prevent the spread of viruses
500
What is Charles Darwin?
This scientist studied evolution and came up with the idea of natural selection.
500
What is convergent evolution
This is when two parent species evolve into one new species.
