History of Earth/Radiometric Dating
This layer of Earth contains the convection currents that drive the movement of lithospheric tectonic plates.
What is the mantle?
This is defined as the reproductive success of an individual in evolution.
What is fitness?
This type of reproductive isolation occurs when two populations are separated by a physical barrier and are unable to mate and reproduce.
What is geological/geographical/geographic isolation?
This occurs when there is a change in allele frequency as a result of migration, usually decreasing the genetic diversity of the population.
What is the founder effect?
This layer of Earth contains the tectonic plates.
What is the lithosphere?
This is the amount of time it takes for half of the radioactive substance to decay.
These are inherited traits that allow an individual to better survive in a specific environment.
What are adaptations?
This term refers to the formation of new species.
What is speciation?
This occurs when change in allele frequencies occur as a result of a drastic reduction in the size of a population, usually lowering the genetic diversity of the population.
What is bottleneck effect?
What are transform plate boundaries?
This is the process that involves the movement of sediment as they are carried away by wind, water, or ice.
What is erosion?
This can occur between individuals of the same species or individuals of different species when there is limited food and space available in a habitat.
What is competition?
This type of reproductive isolation occurs when two populations reproduce at different times and are unable to mate and create viable and fertile offspring during the same time of the year.
What is temporal isolation?
This typically results in an increase in genetic diversity of a population due to the transfer of genetic material between different populations of the same species.
What is gene flow?
This is the term to describe different versions of traits that are inherited genetically in theory of evolution by natural selection.
What are variations?
This is the process that occurs when small particles reach a larger body of water and are placed at the bottom, forming layers of sediment.
What is deposition?
These are structures in different organisms that share the same function but do not share the same ancestry or structure and development.
What are analogous structures?
This type of selection occurs when the intermediate phenotype is favored over both extreme phenotypes, resulting in increased survivability and fitness for individuals with the intermediate phenotype.
What is stabilizing selection?
This is the frequency of the recessive allele in a population if 16% of the population have the recessive trait.
What is 0.4?
This is how much of the 60.0 gram original sample that remains if two half-lives have occurred.
What is 15.0 grams?
Subduction zones (where one tectonic plate goes under another) are found at these tectonic plate boundaries.
What are convergent plate boundaries?
This type of evolution occurs when two or more species affect each other's evolution, such as symbiotic relationships between a flower and a pollinator or relationship between a predator and prey as both establish attack and defense mechanisms.
This type of selection occurs when one extreme is selected over another.
What is directional selection?
This is the frequency of the dominant allele if 9 individuals in a population of 100 have the recessive trait.
What is 0.7?
This term describes determining the age of different rocks by using the fossil record and rock layers.
What is relative dating?
This is the percentage of the original substance that remains after 4 half-lives have occurred.
What is 6.25%?
These are structures that do not serve important functions in organisms so they are no longer being used.
What are vestigial structures?
This type of reproductive isolation occurs when two populations of species evolve differences in mating rituals and courtship routines and are no longer able to mate and reproduce.
What is behavioral isolation?
These are the equations that hold true based on the Hardy-Weinberg principle when a population is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
What are p + q = 1 and p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1?
These are the five conditions that need to occur in order for a population to be in genetic equilibrium.
What are...
1. Random Mating
2. Large Population Size
3. NO Gene Flow (no migration)
4. NO Mutations
5. NO Natural Selection
