Your friend shows up in a fit that’s 10/10, no crumbs left. You say this two-word phrase that means total domination.

The name for variations within a population that improve the ability to survive and reproduce.
Adaptations
200
The name for the random change in allele frequencies. Small populations are more susceptible to this than large populations.
Genetic drift

What type of speciation occurs when there is not a geographic barrier between parts of a population?
Sympatric

Name three pieces of evidence for placing organisms on a evolutionary tree with a recent common ancestor.
1. Biochemical
2. Structural
3. Fossil
4. Embryological
5. Cytological
6. Behavioral

What is the function of the Golgi?
Process and package proteins in vesicles

Hal has very little of this overall style and charm. The term was first popularized by Kai Cenat.

The concept that states that populations of organisms that do not have a recent common ancestor will develop similarities to one another based on living in similar conditions.
Convergent Evolution
300
What type of gene selection would result in the increase in frequency of two opposite phenotypes within a population while also resulting in the decrease in frequency of an intermediate phenotype.
Disruptive

The generation of sterile hybrid organisms (like mules or ligers) are an example of what type of reproductive barrier?
Postzygotic

Look at the attached tree and explain why scientists refer to modern Reptiles as a paraphyletic grouping.
The grouping does not include all descendants of the most recent common ancestor.

Small populations with a great deal of food and resources available do not typically evolve much, if at all. Why?
There is no selection pressure

The founder effect and the bottleneck effect both describe scenarios of low genetic diversity. How are they different?
Founder: small population size first inhabits an area
Bottleneck: population size rapidly reduced due to an event

What type of reproductive isolation describes a successful sexual reproduction attempt but the sperm cannot fertilize the egg?
Mechanical

What five conditions must be met for a population to remain in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?
1. No mutations
2. Random mating
3. No natural selection
4. Extremely large population
5. No gene flow

What type of reproductive isolation describes portions of a population that are active during different seasons of the year and therefore do not reproduce?
Temporal

What is parsimony?
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one
