This British naturalist proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection
Who is Charles Darwin
In the Hardy-Weinberg equation, we know that p+q=1
Which variable is dominant and which is recessive?
The evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species
A group of species each of which includes an ancestral species and all of its descendants is called what?
What is monophyletic or a clade
What is Ms. Orn's first name (spelling must be correct)
What is Helaina
A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in it's environment
What is an adaptation
What is the equation we use to solve for allele frequency?
What is (Number of copies of allele)/(Total number of copies of gene in population)
Birds performing a mating ritual is an example of what type of isolating mechanism?
Which of the following would be considered an outgroup?
Shark, Dolphin, Trout, Swordfish
What is Dolphin
What year did Ms. Orn graduate from Marshall?
What is 2019
A change in the frequency of gene variants, alleles, in a population, typically occurring over a relatively short time period is called what?
A population of mice may be brown (dominant) or white (recessive). Brown mice have the genotype BB or Bb. White mice have the genotype bb. The frequency of the bb is 0.102. What is the frequency of the heterozygous mice?
What is 0.44
What type of speciation is caused by a barrier like the Grand Canyon?
What is allopatric speciation
The simplest possible phylogeny (or fewest character traits) for a group of organisms is called what?
What is maximum parsimony
Where did Ms. Orn graduate college?
What is UMD
A set of organisms that is the most recent individual from which all the organisms of the set are descended from
What is common ancestor
If 129 out of 300 individuals in a population express the recessive phenotype, what percent of the population has one dominant allele?
What is 34%
What are the two types of barriers that maintain reproductive isolation?
What are prezygotic and postsygotic barriers
If two species share a node that is more recent than with any other species, they are considered this.
What is sister taxa
Ms. Orn has a dog. Which of the following is her name?
Emma, Yasha, Fergie, Keely
The blending model was diproved by which Austrian monk?
Who is Gregor Mendel
For the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium to function, there are 5 conditions it must satisfy. Name three of them.
What is no natural selection, no mutation, large population, no migration, and random mating
What theory states that species experience long periods of stability with little change until sudden interruptions of rapid bursts of change happen where new species emerge quickly?
What is punctuated equilibrium
Loss or reduction of a structure during evolution while remnants remain.
What is vestigial structures
What is Ms. Orn going to grad school for?
