Evolution
That in which organisms change in order to survive.
What is evolution?
The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
What is Natural selection?
The action or process of adapting or being adapted.
What is Adaptation?
Traits that evolve because of the cultural interaction with human physiology that is anthropogenic in nature.
What is biocultural?
A way to find evidence for these most commonly used once animals die.
What is Anatomy?
What is Anatomy?
The natural selection That favors one extreme of continuous variation. Over time, the favored extreme will become more common.
What is Directional selection?
Adaptations that affect how an organism acts.
What is Behavioral Adaptation?
One of the best examples of biocultural Evolution that developed from cultures that consumed the milk of mammals belonging to another species.
What is Lactose intolerant?
A type of evidence for these used most commonly when animals are extinct.
What is Paleontology?
That in which refers to large-scale changes that occur over extended time periods, such as the formation of new species and groups.
what is Macroevolution?
The natural selection That favors the intermediate states of continuous variation. Over time, the intermediate states become more common.
What is Stabilizing selection?
Adaptations Based on body chemistry and metabolism.
What is Physiological Adaptation?
An inherited red blood cell disorder in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body.
What is sickle-cell anemia?
The global distribution of organisms and the unique features of island species reflect evolution and geological change.
What is Biogeography?
That in which refers to small-scale changes that affect just one or a few genes and happen in populations over shorter timescales.
What is Microevolution?
The natural selection That favors both extremes of continuous variation. Over time, the two extreme variations will become more common and the intermediate states will be less common or lost.
What is Disruptive or Diversifying selection?
The Adaptation that an organism's environment shapes its appearance through.
What is Structural Adaptation?
interactions between humans and their environment to understand human biological adaptation and variation.
What is Biocultural interactions?
directly observing small-scale evolution in organisms with short lifecycles.
What is Direct observation?
What is Convergent Evolution?
The natural selection That favors a trait that benefits related members of a group.
What is Kin selection?
physiological adjustments to environmental stimuli by individuals that may be temporary or permanent.
What is Acclimation?
A way to find evidence for biocultural Evolution.
What is Anatomy?
the way that DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life.
What is Molecular biology?
