What is Life?
Sweating is an example of this
Homeostasis
Evolution is a change in the inherited traits of a _________ over many generations
Population
Variation, heritability, competition, and differential reproductive success. What needs all four of these conditions?
Natural Selection
Kale, cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts were all bred from one wild mustard plant through this process, in which humans choose which individuals breed.
Artificial Selection
A human arm, a cat leg, a whale flipper and a bat wing all have the same set of bones, making them this kind of structure.
homologous structures
Mushrooms can't make food from sunlight. They get their energy by breaking down dead material, making it what kind of organism?
Decomposer
Theory
This word means how many offspring an individual leaves that survive to reproduce, compared to others in it's population.
Fitness
Overpopulation, resource competition, a changing environment and predators are the four of these that drive natural selection.
Environmental pressures (or just pressures)
Humans didn’t evolve from this animal. Instead, we share a common ancestor with it that lived roughly 6 to 7 million years ago.
Chimpanzee
This carrier genetic information and it's populations evolve, but it isn't made of cells and can only copy itself inside a host cell.
What is a virus
This naturalist proposed that giraffes stretched their necks to reach leaves and passed the longer necks on to their offspring.
Lamarck
Dark fur helps mice survive on black rock. On pale sand, the same fur makes them easy prey. This dark fur trait would be considered what on pale sand?
deleterious
Large male salmon win fights and small males sneak in to mate, while medium-sized males lose out. This is the pattern of selection.
What is disruptive selection?
Fossils such as Ambulocetus, which walked on land and swam with paddle-like feet, show a mix of old and new traits and are called these.
Transitional forms
This animal is obviously alive but almost never has offspring, showing that reproduction is a feature of populations but not necessarily doable by every individual
A mule (a hybrid animal)
On the meter tape activity, human history fit into about this distance at the very end
0.05 millimeters
Frog A is the biggest in the pond, lives 10 years and raises 5 surviving offspring. Frog B lives 3 years and raises 40. This frog has the higher fitness.
Frog B
Bacteria, mushrooms, oak trees and humans look nothing alike, yet every one of them shares the same checklist of life. This is the reason.
Common ancestry
Galápagos animals most resemble animals from South America, not those on similar islands elsewhere. This line of evidence for evolution studies where species live.
