SPECIES & SPECIATION
Five pre-zygotic barriers & Two post-zygotic barriers
What is Behavioral Isolation, Gametic Isolation, Temporal Isolation, Mechanical Isolation, Habitat Isolation?
What is Hybrid Sterility and Hybrid Inviability?
Genetic change in a population or species over generations
What is evolution?
The two main stages of photosynthesis
What are the Light Dependent Reactions and the Light Independent Reactions/Calvin Cycle?
The process by which chemoautotrophic organisms synthesize organic compounds using energy derived from chemical reactions rather than sunlight
What is chemosynthesis?
The Hierarchical System of Classification
What is Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species?
The concept that is when members of the same species can interbreed and produce fertile offspring
What is the Biological Species Concept?
Evolutionary theorist who shared his ideas with Charles Darwin and they aligned enough for them to present the Theory of Natural Selection alongside one another
Who is Alfred Russel Wallace?
The movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, moving them through a concentration gradient
What is chemiosmosis?
The three main structures that make up fungi
What are the fruiting body, hyphae, and mycelium?
The three reasons scientific names are used by scientists
What is they are (I) In a common language, (II) Recognized worldwide, (III) Reflect Classification?
Rapid diversification of a single species into many species that each fill a unique niche
What is adaptive radiation?
Five causes of evolution in populations
What are Natural Selection, Sexual Selection & Non-Random Mating, Gene Flow, Genetic Drift, and Mutation?
Three inputs and three outputs of light dependent reactions
What are H20, NADP+, and ADP+P?
What are O2, NADPH, and ATP?
The four Ecological Roles played by Bacteria
What are (I) Form the base of the food chain, (II) Decomposition, (III) Nitrogen Fixation, (IV) Bioremediation?
Part of the phylogenetic tree that includes an ancestral species (node) and all of its descendant species
What is a clade?
When an individual has multiple sets of chromosomes from different parental species
What is allopolyploidy?
When population size is reduced by colonization and can lead to loss of variation and genetic drift
What is the Founder Effect?
The process by which the electrons in PSII are replaced
What is photolysis?
The two organisms that form lichen and their contributions to the mutualistic symbiotic relationship
What is FUNGUS that harvests energy/gives access to resources/provides structure?
What is a PHOTOSYNTHETIC PARTNER (cyanobacteria/algae) that provides food energy/nutrition?
The three main tools to establish evolutionary relationships
What are (I) Fossil Record, (II) Homologous Structures, (III) Molecular Biology?
Darwin's Finches theory is an example of this since he observed there was once only one species of finch, then groups of those finches all moved to different islands, evolving to better adapt to each specific environment, then having reproductive barriers with those finches who once used to be the same species
What is allopatric speciation?
Darwin's three observations and two inferences about Natural Selection
What are (I) Individuals within a population vary, and some of this variation is heritable, (2) More individuals are born that can survive & reproduce, and (3) Individuals compete for limited resources?
What are (I) Because of their different traits, some individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce in a given environment than others and (II) Over time, descendants of these survivors, having inherited adaptive traits, will be more abundant in the population?
The process of chemiosmotic coupling (chemiosmosis)
What is Energy from sunlight excites electrons, then Excited electrons are passed through an e- transport chain releasing energy, then the released energy is used to pump the H+ into the thylakoid space which sets up a concentration gradient, then H+ diffuses back into the stroma through the enzyme ATP synthase, and then Energy from the movement (flow) of H+ is used to convert ADP to ATP?
The group of organisms that form the base of the food chain in hydrothermal deep sea vent communities
What are chemosynthetic microbes?
When organisms of different species develop similar traits due to adaptation to similar environments
What is convergent evolution?
