This is the term for all of the ecological factors imposed in an ecosystem by nonliving things

What are abiotic factors?

100

(TRUE/FALSE) The first organisms on Earth were likely multicellular

What is False? - They were likely unicellular

100

Give an example of a vestigial strucure

What is [a vestigial structure example]?

100

For two organisms to be considered the same species, they must be able to create...

What is viable, fertile offspring?

100

This is the ordered division and naming of organisms

What is taxonomy?

200

This is the term for natural selection where one end of the phenotypic spectrum is selected for

What is Directional Selection?

200

(TRUE/FALSE) Macroevolution refers to broad patterns of evolutionary change above the species level

What is True?

200

Name 3 of the 6 evidences for evolution

What are fossil record, homology, analogy, transitional species, artificial selection, biogeography?

200

This is the term for rapid diversification of species in response to environments with a variety of ecological opportunities

What is adaptive radiation?

200

Taxon A is most closely related to this taxon 

What is taxon B?

300

This is the term for changes in allele frequencies in populations due to change and/or random events

What is Genetic Drift?

300
(TRUE/FALSE) Horses and donkeys are the same species because they can produce offspring; mules

What is False? - mules are unable to reproduce

300

Absolute age of fossils can be determined by this kind of dating

What is radiometric dating?

300

Give an example of current/observable evolution

What is pesticides, herbicides, antibiotic resistance organisms, artificial selection, etc.?

300

A ________ or branching point is symbolic of that clade's common ancestor

What is a node?

400

If allele frequencies change from one generation to the next, the population is said to be doing this

What is evolving?

400
(TRUE/FALSE) A lack of variation cannot contribute to a species' extinction

What is FALSE? - Populations with little genetic variation are at greater risk for extinction

400

This is the difference between homologous and analogous structures

What is homologous shows structural similarities between organisms that indicate common ancestry and analogous structures show similar features between organisms who do not have recent common ancestry - convergent evolution?

400

The first genetic material on Earth was likely this

What is RNA?

400

This is the difference between a phylogenetic tree and a cladogram

What is a phylogenetic tree considers more evidence and/or considers time elapsed and cladograms usually go off of one kind of trait and disregard time elapsed?

500

In the Hardy-Weinberg Equation, the variable 2pq represents this

What is the frequency of heterozygotes in a population?
500

(TRUE/FALSE) Comparative Embryology shows how many organisms have very different embryological traits

What is False? - it shows how there are very similar embryological traits

500
This is (one of) the pieces of evidence that tells use that all life on Earth came from a universal common ancestor 

What is using the same ribosomal subunits, active transport proteins, presence of DNA, Anaerobic respiration, etc.?

500

Speciation occurs without geographic isolation, often due to sexual selection 

What is sympatric speciation?

500

When considering a clade, this is the species least related to the others in the tree and serves as a basis of comparison 

What is an outgroup?
