p is the frequency of this allele
Dominant
Most specifically, a mutation is a change in this, often paired with "Ribo" or Deoxyribo"
Nucleic Acid
This occurs one one species branches off of another, creating two separate species with their own unique characteristics and environmental adaptations.
Divergent Evolution
This is the medical vow given at graduation ceremonies
Hippocratic Oath
In the Amoeba Sister's video, one of the sisters expresses her love for this halloween candy
Gummy Bears
This was the sample animal used in the Amoeba Sister's video for the HW Equation
Frogs
This animal/species is often studied due to their high rate of mutation
Fruit Flies
These are physical features that look similar but perform completely different functions
Homologous Structures
Electron pairs, when shared between two atoms, help create this kind of bond
Covalent Bond
"the rapper," also the random nature of genetic drift
Chance
The mathematical method to solve for q
Square Root
Chemicals or excessive radiation are examples of _________ factors
External
This is the process by which two species develop similar (almost identical) features despite not sharing a recent common ancestor.
Convergent Evolution
This is the number of elements listed on the periodic table
118
This type of population is less affected by genetic drift
Large
Because of these types of changes, it is virtually impossible to maintain genetic equilibrium.
Allelic frequencies
This type of chromosomal mutation occurs when extra copies of genes are generated
Duplication
The North American Wolf and the Tasmanian Wolf (geographically separated) are examples of this type of evolution.
Parallel Evolution
This is what bats use to hunt and find their prey
Echolocation
This effect is an example of a random reduction in population size
Bottleneck effect
A population of 1000 rabbits may be brown (the dominant phenotype) or white (the recessive phenotype). Brown rabbits have the genotype BB or Bb. White rabbits have the genotype bb. The frequency of the BB genotype is .35.
What is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype?
≈ 0.48
This mutation occurs during meiosis, wherein chromosomes do not separate completely
Nondisjunction
Potatoes have stems and sweet potatoes have roots (modified structures) but perform the same function. These are then ________ structures.
Analogous
This plant is the tallest grass on the planet
Bamboo
This effect occurs when few organisms begin to populate a new area, and do not necessarily represent the original population that they came from
Founder Effect
