Scientists
Father of Evolution.
Natural Selection.
Studied Finches in the Galapagos Islands
Charles Darwin
What kind of cells were the first to exist according to evolution? (Answer just 1)
Anaerobic
Prokaryotic
Heterotrophic
Survival of the
fittest
Two different species of deer get separated by a river. Over time, they change and can no longer reproduce when reunited. (What type of Isolation?)
Geographic
Other than fossils, name one proof of evidence for Evolution
Biogeography
Anatomy
Molecular (DNA)
Embryology
Said that organisms acquire beneficial traits in their lifetimes.
(Long Neck Giraffes)
Lamark
(Lamark=Long Neck)
Theory that suggests cells ate other cells and created the first mitochondria and cholorplasts.
Endosymbiotic Theory (Endosymbiosis)
What element of NS suggests some organisms produce many offspring because not many will make it to adulthood?
Overproduction
Flowers breed at certain times of the year as opposed to other flowers. What type of isolation?
Temporal
Lack of food, drought, predators, lack of mates,etc.
Said that as the human population increases, resources will decrease. Struggle for existence.
Thomas Malthus
(Malthus=Mouths to feed)
What organelle is said to have evolved by an anaerobic prokarote engulfing an aerobic eukaryote?
Mitochondria
What color frog would likely survive and reproduce in a dark and muddy environment, brown or light green?
Brown
Birds have specific mating rituals or calls in order to interbreed with their species. What type of isolation?
Behavioral
In Natural Selection, mutations can be beneficial to the survival of organisms because it can lead to what?
(Hint: Not all of the same genes, but different)
Genetic Variation
Said that natural geological forces shape the surface of the earth over a long period of time.
Charles Lyell
(Lyell=Land)
What organelle is said to have evolved from an aerobic eukarote engulfing a photosynthetic eukaryote.
Chloroplast.
What type of selection favors individuals with average phenotypes?
Stablizing
What structures suggest common ancestry by having the SAME structure but different function?
Homologous
What structures do NOT show common ancestry but have the same function/different structure?
Analagous
Alfred Wallace
(Wallace=Walletless)
What type of cell was said to be last to develop?
Aerobic
Eukaryotic
Photosynthetic
Autotrophic
What type of selection favors organisms with only one phenotype? (Ex: Only large beaks)
Directional
What are structures that have no known purpose in organisms, but must've been useful earlier on?
Vestigial
What are one of two tools used to show evolutionary history and how closely related organisms are to one another?
Describe the cells in order of evolution. (Hint: you will need the three descriptions for each type of cell, starting with the first cell)
Anaerobic Heterotrophic Prokaryote
Aerobic Heterotrophic Eukaryote
Aerobic Photosynthetic Eukaryote
Mosquito populations declined sharply after the widespread use of chemical pesticides in the mid-20th century, but their numbers have increased in recent decades. Many modern mosquitoes have thicker cuticles and resistance to commonly used pesticides. How did these traits MOST likely develop in mosquito populations?
Mutations
Conservation programs and protected habitats have been created to prevent the extinction of the California condor. Research suggests that at least 50 adult condors are needed to maintain a self-sustaining population without human intervention.
If a wild population of 40 condors were left unmanaged, which outcome would MOST likely occur for this population?
Extinction due to the struggle for existence (not enough resources).
