Species diversity drops because one group survives a disaster
Bottle Neck Effect
the bopper butterfly is native to indonesia. in 1842 you could find almost the whole rainbow spectrum in the colors of the butter fly (red, orange, green, blue, purple, and the rare yellow). in 1843 a volcano erupted wiping out almost the whole population of bopper buterfies. of the 100 survivors the colors were red, green, blue and purple.
bottle neck effect
Artificial selection
A species forms as it was created in a laboratory by scientists
artificial selection
Give an example of genetic modification.
(many different answers)
Species diversity drops because one group lives in a new place
founder effect
When the europeans came to america they brought honey bees that had yellow and black colloring with them,because of that the native brown honey bees rapidly started becomeing yellow and black.
Gene Flow
adaptive radiation
Several species evolve from one single ancestor
bottleneck effect
the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring
The genetic traits of a whole population change over time.
gentic drift
During an earth quake, a group of groundhogs walking of a fault line are separated. A large valley forms between the two groups, so large they can no longer see the others. The two groups go through different evolutionary paths and become separate animals.
Speciation
The formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution
founder effect
What is the name of the procccess we use to get diffrent dog breeds?
selective breeding
What is it called when there is a physicall barrier seperating the species?
Alopatric speciation
The fairy rose axolotls are native to many lakes in brazil. In one specific lake, lake Estrela, climate change has made the water slowly evaporate. Because of the lack of water the axalotls developed stranger gill arches to prevent them from colapsing in air, because of this the axolotls were able to survive on land. They are now considered the rose porka axolotls and cannot mate with the fairy rose axolotls
sympatric speciation
Gene Flow
A genetic trait moves from one population to another
Adaptive radiation
What is Reproductive fitness?
the ability for a species to survive AND reproduce AND their babies survive
Two species form because one relocated apart from another
Peripatric speciation
During the ice age, part of the raccoon population crossed the ice bridge from asia to america. Those who crossed then moved down towards the louisiana area, here it was more warm than they were used to. Those raccoons who had thinner undercoats than the others survived somewhat better than the others. After a while all raccoons in america had thinner coats.
peripatric speciation
sympatric speciation
Two species form because of a mutation separating them
genetic drift
In terms of evolution, what is the diffrence between gradual and punctuated equilibrium?
Gradual slowly changes over time, punctuated equilibrium have sudden mutations and major changes with little change in between.
