100
Evolution of natural selection can be found in these.
What are transitional fossils?
100
The Earth is this age.
What is 4 to 5 bya?
100
This type of cell has no nucleus.
What is prokaryotic cell?
100
This is the most common ancestor of modern day humans.
What is chimpanzee?
200
Bacteria can divide as often as this.
What is every 20 minutes?
200
This equation says that the population is NOT evolving when it equals 1.
What is Hardy-Weinberg equation?
200
The idea that the entire solar system and all the planets in it were formed at the same time.
What is the Nebular Hypothesis?
200
Prokaryotic cells are found in these two domains of life.
What is Bacteria and Archaea?
200
She is known as the African maternal ancestor of all humanity today.
Who is Mitochondrial Eve?
300
Mutations in the genome during binary fission...
Gene influx from the environment...
and gene transfer from the same bacterial species...creates this within bacteria.
What is genetic diversity?
300
During evolution, the change in frequency of alleles in a population over time can be seen in this total collection of alleles in this a population.
What is gene pool?
300
Millions of years ago continents were one big landmass called this but was separated by these.
What is Pangaea and plate tectonics?
300
Prokaryotic cells, Archaeans, that can live in extremely hot, salty, or toxic environments are known as these.
What are extremophiles?
300
Living and extinct great apes, humans, orangutans, chimpanzees, and gorillas belong to this family.
What is hominids?
400
During this process, the most adaptive phenotypes reproduce.
What is evolution?
400
I have limbs made of bone.
I have limbs with jointed wrists.
I have limbs with jointed appendages.
What is tetrapod?
400
Uranium-238 --> Lead-206 is known as this.
What is half-life?
400
This domain includes plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
What is Eukarya?
400
This is social and not biological.
What is race?
500
I result in populations better suited to their environment than their predecessors.
I result in some individuals surviving better and reproducing than others.
I result in a change in allele frequencies over time.
What is natural selection?
500
This type of study analyzes the genetic makeup and total collection of alleles of/in a population and how the genetic composition a population changes over time.
What is population genetics?
500
The organism classification hierarchy is this (in order).
What is kingdom --> phylum --> class --> order --> family --> genus --> species?
500
Animal adaptations from earliest to most recent suggest this (in order).
What is no symmetry-->radial symmetry-->bilateral symmetry-->backbone?
500
Evolutionary milestones in order from most recent to most recent suggest this (in order).
What is ability to walk upright-->tool use-->use of fire-->big brain?
