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