Types of Evolution
This type of evolution results from unrelated species developing similar traits due to similar selective pressures
Convergent Evolution
Wisdom teeth and tailbones are examples of what type of structures in humans?
Vestigial Structures
This pattern of natural selection results in selection against both extreme forms of a trait.
Stabilizing Selection
How do you determine which organism is the most fit?
Whichever organism has the most healthy offspring.
Which category is larger -- Phylum or Kingdom?
Kingdom
What type of evolution results in homologous structures?
Divergent Evolution
These types of structures show that different selective pressures cause structures to be modified over time to fit their specific needs.
Homologous Structures
Which type of selection results from the whole graph shifting towards one of the extreme appearances?
What is an inherited trait that becomes more common in a population because it gives the species an advantage?
An adaptation
Which two levels of classification are in a scientific name?
Genus species
Does divergent evolution result from similar or different selective pressures?
Different
When bacteria develop antibiotic resistance via natural selection, this is an example of what category?
Direct Observation of Evolutionary Change
Selection against the average form of a trait
Disruptive selection
____________ act on a population and select for/against traits.
Selective pressures
Do you bold or underline a scientific name?
Underline
What type of evolution involves each type of organism acting as the selective pressure on each other?
Coevolution
Studying where Darwin's finches live falls under what category?
Biogeography
This type of selection when humans act as the selective pressure.
Artificial Selection
In artificial selection, what is the selective pressure?
What are the two ideas about how fast species evolove?
Gradualism and punctuated equilibrium
Darwin's finches are an example of which type of evolution?
Divergent Evolution
What category of evidence would compare the sequence of DNA letters from one species to the next?
DNA
Which pattern of natural selection describes the rock pocket mouse example?
Directional Selection
In a population of bactera, why did some survive?
When two populations evolve far enough apart that they are now two different species, what type of evolution has caused this?
Divergent Evolution
