what is another way to say natural selection
Survival of the fittest
Does it increase or decrease genetic variation
increase
does it increase or decrease genetic variation
decrease
does evolution happen to an individual or a population
population
what is the volume of the observable universe in nanometers cubed
what gets passed down because of natural selection
Adaptions
what is transferred in gene flow
genetic material
what is a mechanism of genetic drift that is caused by a disaster
bottleneck effect
what is the difference between natural selection and evolution
natural selection is a mechanism of evolution
what is the speed of light in a vacuum in microns per second

why did the black peppered moths become majority of the population
they were more adapted to their environment at the time
if a few organisms move away from the original population and interbreed with a new population what is this called
migration.
if a portion of the population moves to a new location and breed with only each other what is this called
founder's effect
what is a cladogram
it is a chart to show common ancestors and traits between species
Electrons are in _________ until observed
Quantum Super position
Natural Selection happens over ____
generations
Gene flow makes populations more ___
Similar
what is genetic drift based on
chance events
how do organisms become different species
speciation
what is hawking radiation
hawking radiation is the theoretical radiation that comes off a black hole meaning a black hole can loose mass
how do you win natural selection
by surviving and reproducing
gene flow happens between ______
two different populations of the same species
is genetic drift influenced by natural selection
no
what is I called when body parts in different species that have similar functions but evolved independently, without a common ancestor
analogous structures
how do we measure neutrinos from supernova explosions
Neutrinos are measured by detecting their rare interactions with other matter using massive detectors that can identify the signature they leave behind, such as a flash of light or a track. These interactions are often indirect, and experiments use different materials like water, ice, or specialized fluids to look for the particles created when a neutrino hits an atom. Advanced experiments are also developing new methods, such as using cyclotron radiation from electrons produced in beta decay, to precisely measure neutrino properties like mass
