Types of Evolution
This type of evolution comes from when two species evolve together, resulting in each being required for the continuance of each other. e.g. flowering plants and their pollinators.
What is Co-evolution
Wisdom teeth and tailbones are examples of what type of structures in humans?
Vestigial Structures
This pattern of natural selection results in selection against both extreme forms of a trait.
Stabilizing Selection
This is the name for the agent of evolution that acts on small populations and comes from random change in allelic frequency in a population
What is genetic drift
This is the level of organism that evolution affects.
What is populations
What type of evolution results in homologous structures, that have a common ancestor and similar underlying anatomy.
Divergent Evolution
These types of structures show that different selective pressures cause structures to be modified over time to fit their specific needs.
Homologous Structures
Which type of selection results from the whole graph shifting towards one of the extreme appearances?
Directional
This name for the type of evolutionary agent results in a population that declines and then rebounds
What is bottleneck
This is the name for a group of organisms in a specific area that can interbreed.
What is population What is species is not correct.
THE WINGS OF BIRDS, BATS, AND INSECTS ARE examples of this type of evolution. Hint: evolutionary origins are different. Hint 2 their wings differ anatomically but they have similar function, flight.
What is Analogous
This type of evidence comes from those who study palaeontology, and give an example.
What is fossil, dinosaurs
Selection against the average form of a trait
Disruptive selection
This type of evolutionary agent is all in the genes
What are mutations
This is the name of the feature that shows remnants of ancestral traits, strongly supporting common descent and natural selection
What is a vestigial feature
What type of evolution where one ancester gives rise to many different species
What is adaptive radiation
This category of evidence would compare the sequence of DNA letters from one species to the next
What is DNA
This type of selection when humans act as the selective pressure.
Artificial Selection
In genetic drift, what kind of feature might help drift to occur
This determines which organism is the most fit. This type of action is required for evolution to happen.
What is reproduction, parents and offsping who can reproduce. Whichever organism has the most healthy offspring. What is sexual reproducation. Exchange of DNA
This type of evolution results in similar features arising from different ancesters
What is convergent evolution
These are the 5 fingers of evolutionary evidence
What are Mutation (middle finger - new variation), Gene Flow (index finger - migration), Genetic Drift (pinky finger - random chance/small populations), Non-Random Mating (ring finger - sexual selection/choice), and Natural Selection.
Artifical selection contains these three types of modifications, name all three
What is gene therapy, genetically modified organisms, selected breeding.
These are 3 ways that organisms have for reducing inbreeding in non-random breeding
What is kin-recognition, delayed maturation and dispersal.
This type of study is what Darwin's finches falls under.
What is Biogeography or island biogeography
