Module 1
This value of p acts as a threshold for indicating significance
What is 0.05?
This is the ultimate source of new alleles
What is mutation?
This type of factor in an ecosystem is not alive.
This non-reproductive method of moving genetic material allows prokaryotes to undergo rapid evolutionary change.
What is lateral gene transfer?
This is a measure of total carbon fixation
What is Gross Primary Productivity?
This hypothesis indicates that no significant difference exists between variables in a study
What is a null hypothesis?
This equation, named after Hardy and Weinberg, demonstrates how allele frequencies stay constant without evolutionary influence
What is p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
This method of population estimation involves trapping some and marking certain members, followed by re-releasing and recapturing later on.
What is the mark-recapture method?
From largest to smallest, this is the sixth grouping of taxonomy for identifying a species.
This phenomenon illustrates how high-income neighborhoods often posess greater biodiversity
What is the luxury effect?
This scientist's experiment tested spontaneous generation and supprted the Cell Theory
Who was Louis Pasteur?
This genetic drift effect occurs when a population size is suddenly and severely reduced.
What is the bottleneck effect?
This type of species interaction involves one species being benefitted while the other is unharmed.
What is commensalism?
Double membranes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are an example of evidence supporting this
What is endosymbiosis?
This occurs when nutrients are washed into waterways in excess quantities
What is nutrient runoff?
This explanation for a behavior focuses on the historical, evolutionary causes for its occurence.
What is ultimate explanation?
Favoring organisms with hard parts, having fewer older samples, and favoring geographical accessibility are all examples of this
What is fossil record bias?
This is the niche an organism could occupy with no competition or threat.
What is a fundamental niche?
This is a mutualistic relationship between plants and fungi
What is mycorrhizae?
This is a desynchronization between interacting species caused by changes in seasonal event timing
What is phenological mismatch?
This process in meiosis swaps genetic material between chromosomes, creating new allele combinations
What is crossing over?
This type of selection favors extreme phenotypes over intermediate ones.
What is disruptive selection?
This is a measure of how balanced the species in an ecosystem are
What is species evenness?
This is a widespread instance of a disease, isolated to a particular region
What is an epidemic?
This is the score you're going to get on the bio final
What is ONE HUNDREDDDDDDDDD
