p is the frequency of this allele

Dominant

100

Most specifically, a mutation is a change in this, often paired with "Ribo" or Deoxyribo"

Nucleic Acid

100

This occurs one one species branches off of another, creating two separate species with their own unique characteristics and environmental adaptations.

Divergent Evolution

100

This is the medical vow given at graduation ceremonies

Hippocratic Oath

100

In the Amoeba Sister's video, one of the sisters expresses her love for this halloween candy

Gummy Bears

200

This was the sample animal used in the Amoeba Sister's video for the HW Equation

Frogs

200

This animal/species is often studied due to their high rate of mutation

Fruit Flies

200

These are physical features that look similar but perform completely different functions

Homologous Structures

200

Electron pairs, when shared between two atoms, help create this kind of bond

Covalent Bond

200

"the rapper," also the random nature of genetic drift

Chance

300

The mathematical method to solve for q

Square Root

300

Chemicals or excessive radiation are examples of _________ factors

External

300

This is the process by which two species develop similar (almost identical) features despite not sharing a recent common ancestor.

Convergent Evolution

300

This is the number of elements listed on the periodic table

118

300

This type of population is less affected by genetic drift

Large

400

Because of these types of changes, it is virtually impossible to maintain genetic equilibrium.

Allelic frequencies

400

This type of chromosomal mutation occurs when extra copies of genes are generated

Duplication

400

The North American Wolf and the Tasmanian Wolf (geographically separated) are examples of this type of evolution.

Parallel Evolution

400

This is what bats use to hunt and find their prey

Echolocation

400

This effect is an example of a random reduction in population size

Bottleneck effect

500

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

500

This mutation occurs during meiosis, wherein chromosomes do not separate completely

Nondisjunction

500

Potatoes have stems and sweet potatoes have roots (modified structures) but perform the same function. These are then ________ structures.

Analogous

500

This plant is the tallest grass on the planet

Bamboo

500

This effect occurs when few organisms begin to populate a new area, and do not necessarily represent the original population that they came from
