Evidence for Evolution
This is the change in species over time
What is evolution?
This a group of species that includes an ancestral species and all its descendants
What is a clade?
In this type of speciation, it occurs in Populations that live in the same geographic area
What is sympatric?
When allele and genotype frequencies remain constant
What is equilibrium?
This man was an English natural scientist who formulated a theory of evolution by natural selection (1809-1882)
Who is Charles Darwin?
This type of evidence shows evolutionary changes that occur over time and origin of major new groups of organisms
What is fossil record?
The two-part scientific name of a species is called this
What is binomial?
This is the existence of biological factors that impede two species from producing fertile offspring, and is critical for speciation
What is reproductive isolation?
These are the conditions that must be met for Hardy-Weinberg to take place
What is no mutations, random mating, no natural selection, very large population size, and no Gene flow?
This is the process of forming new allelic combinations in the reproduction of offspring through the shuffling of genes
What is recombination?
These structures have similar anatomy from common ancestors
What are homologous structures?
If the genes in two organisms share many portions of nucleotide sequence, it is likely they are
What is homologous?
In this type of speciation, Gene flow is interrupted or reduced when a population is divided into geographically isolation subpopulations
What is allopatric?
p + q = 1, where p equals
What is the frequency of dominant allele?
The total collection of genes is a population at any one time in an inbreeding population is called
What is a Gene pool?
These structures have similar structures, function in similar environments
What are analogous structures?
The list of the taxonomic groups from broad to narrow areWhat
What is domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species?
This is the presence of extra sets of chromosomes due to accidents during cell division
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 where 2pq equals
What is heterozygous frequency?
This is the process of selecting a few organisms with desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation
What is selective breding?
These type of species are found at a certain geographic location and nowhere else
What are endemic species?
This results in Gene duplication and are found in more than one copy in the genome
What are paralogous genes?
This describes these periods of apparent stasis punctuated by sudden change
What is punctuated equilibria?
If p and q are not constant from generation to generation, then the population is
What is evolving?
This is the process of taking the genes from one organism and transferring it into the DNA of another organism in order to produce an organism with desired traits
What is genetic engineering?
