Random
What was the clan name in the Artificial selection video we watched in Class?
Heike
Who were the scientists that simulated the water cycle to test the origin of life?
Miller and Urey
What does bipedal mean?
Animals that walk on two legs
Who discovered the theory of Evolution?
Charles Darwin
What mechanism of evolution is the movement of genes from one population to another population? (Example: A bee carrying pollen from one flower population to another)
Genetic Flow/Gene Flow
A mating system in which at least some individuals are more or less likely to mate with individuals of a particular genotype than with individuals of other genotypes
What is the Word?
Nonrandom mating
What gas was absent from the early atmosphere?
Free Oxygen
the process by which humans choose individual organisms with certain phenotypic trait values for breeding
Artificial Selection
the theory that living things can only come from other living things
Biogenesis theory
A mechanism of evolution- the change in frequency of an existing gene variant in the population due to random chance
Genetic Drift
Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell and can be positive, negative or neutral. (Example: Sickle cell disease)
What is the word for this definition?
Mutation
Which cycle did Miller and Urey simulate during their experiment?
Water Cycle
Some eukaryotic cell organelles, such as mitochondria and plastids, evolved from free-living prokaryotes. Eukaryotes came from Prokaryotes.
What theory is this?
Endosymbiotic/Endosymbiont theory
What scientist was credited for disproving spontaneous generation?
Louis Pasteur
This is a mechanism of evolution-organisms have adaptations that make them better able to live in their environment. What is the vocabulary term for this definition?
Natural Selection
What type of vision is associated with having eyes in front of the face? (think about what you use for bird watching)
Binocular
What did the spark used in the Miller-Urey experiment represent?
Lightning
What is the name of the structure that shares similar physical features in organisms that share a common (same) ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions?
Homologous Structures
What scientist was credited for the endosymbiont/endosymbiotic theory?
Lynn Margulis
What type of Genetic Drift has the definition:
"when a small group of individuals becomes separated from a larger population" ?
Founder's effect
What type of organisms developed first due to the early environmental conditions on Earth? (2 answers)
Prokaryotic and Anaerobic
What compounds were formed as a result in the Miller-Urey experiment?
Amino acids
What is the structure that the features of different species are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral feature?
Analogous structure
Scientists believe that the first life forms to appear on planet Earth were probably similar to which modern organisms?
Bacteria
Which type of genetic drift will result in the drastic reduction of a gene pool because of a population being reduced in size due to natural disasters, habitat loss, or overhunting?
Bottleneck Effect
