what are tactile, olfactory, auditory, visual, and chemical?
100
modern geology, uniformitarianism
Who is Lyell?
200
1st life form
What are protobionts?
200
when two species evolve and have a more recent common ancestor (homologous structures)
What is divergent evolution?
200
contribution to other individuals within future offspring
What is Darwinian fitness?
200
24- hour cycles; periodically during the year
what is circadian and circannual rhythms?
200
descent with modification; natural selection through competition and sexual selection
Who is Darwin?
300
what was thought to have occurred in prokaryotes in order to form eukaryotes
What is endosymbiosis?
300
graded change of allele frequencies along a geographic axis
What is a cline?
300
between genders; within genders
What is intersexual and intrasexual selection?
300
this states the higher the # equals a closer relationship between species and the greater the benefit for the individual
what is Hamilton's Rule?
300
natural selection through adaptation
Who is Wallace?
400
responsible for development in organisms
What are hox genes?
400
when two distant species evolve independently but may share similar characteristics(analogous structures)
What is convergent evolution?
400
if a small portion of the population survives, it may be much different from the original representative population
What is the bottleneck effect?
400
these include; a large population, random mating, no mutations, no migration, and no selection
What are Hardy-Weinberg's assumptions?
400
inheritance of acquired traits, use and disuse
Who is Lamarck?
500
help produce RNA by acting as enzymes
What are ribozymes?
500
chance events that cause certain phenotypic variation to be present
What is genetic drift?
500
this effect is that a founding population has on the population gene pool
What is the founder effect?
500
the behavior that includes an individual putting their life on the line for the benefit of another species
What is altruism?
500
catastrophism, immigration of new population instead of evolution
