What is a condition of HW

Large pop, random mating, no migration, no mutation, no nat selection

100

The giant red urchin and the purple urchin both live off the west coast of the United States and even though their eggs and sperm come into contact through broadcast spawning, no fertilization occurs. This describes which prezygotic isolating mechanism.

Gametic isolation

100

What did Woese use (as evidence) to challenge Whittakers kingdoms

rRNA 

100

In the kingdom animalia glucose is stored as

glycogen

100

what is the HW equation used to find the frequency of dominate or recessive alleles? 

p+q=1

200

Changes in allele frequency in a gene pool due to CHANCE is known as

Genetic drift

200

What are the conditions (2) included in the biological species definition

Genetically separated and reproductively isolated

200

A heterotrophic absorptive domain

fungi

200

An acoelomate organism is ____(triplo or diplo)

triplo

California elephant seals will mate with all females in their territory and defend said territory from other males. The loser of the match does not get to mate that season. This is an example of

Male competition

300

The graph shows

stabilizing selection

300

A model that describes macroevolution as having spurts of relatively rapid change followed by long periods of stasis

punctuated equilibrium model by gould and eldridge


as commpared to gradualism model- slow gradual changes in isolated popualtion

300

Looking at the shared derived trait whiskers is this an example of mono para or polyphyletic?

polyphyletic- the most recent common ancestor does not have whiskers; 

300

This is an example of a/an

pseudocoelomate

When Arizona's Grand Canyon formed, squirrels and other small mammals that had once been part of a single population could no longer contact and reproduce with each other across this new geographic barrier. They could no longer interbreed. The squirrel population underwent allopatric speciation. Today, two separate squirrel species inhabit the north and south rims of the canyon. This describes

allopatric speciation

400

A mechanism for preserving variation in a population in which the heterozygote is more fit that the wild type or homozygous for the mutation

Heterozygote advantage

After binge watching Tiger King on Netflix you do some research on some cats Exotic Joe had. Tigers and Lions are sister taxa, and their common ancestor is millions of years back. Their chromosomes are not homologous, so do not migrate normally at meiosis.

  • male tiger x lioness --> tigon
  • male lion x tigress --> liger

Their hybrid offspring are viable and robust, but sterile. 

A mating between a lion and leopard will produce sterile hybrids. A mating between a tiger and leopard will produce inviable hybrids-Zygotes divide, but embryo miscarries or is stillborn.

What type of isolating mechanism describes a Liger.


Hybrid sterility 

400

The common ancestral species has trait ABC, and two diverging species have variations of ABC evolved for their lifestyle. How could you describe the trait ABC in this phylogeny? (hint: what is the derived trait?)

ABC is the ancestral trait

aBC and AbC are derived traits

400

Concentration of brain and sensory organs to an anterior end

cephalization

400

What replaced Whittakers kingdom monera

domain bacteria and archaea

The Amish can be an example of founder effect, a subset of __________. Due to this the Amish have a small gene pool that often has inbreeding involved. Besides social consequences, what is the effect of inbreeding genetically. 

genetic drift


inbreeding increases frequency of recessive genetic disorders

500

Marsupial and placental mammals diverged from a common ancestor more than 100 million years ago, and have evolved independently ever since. The two groups have different modes of reproduction, yet within each group individual species that occupy similar niches have evolved similarities in overall shape, locomotion, and feeding habits.. This mode of speciation is known as

convergent evolution

500

Using fossils evidence and measures the number of changes, or mutations, which accumulate in the gene sequences of different species over time. It is a good resource to help establish when two species diverged.

Molecular clock

Describe the symmetry of the phylum Porifera
