Natural Selection
These are the 4 things necessary for a population to undergo natural selection
What is genetic variation, reproduction, selection pressures, and competition?
Lizard tails and squirrel tails are examples of this
What are analogous structures?
This type of population growth looks like a J on a population graph
What is exponential?
Organisms with a recent common ancestor have the same DNA
What is false, they will have similar DNA but not identical?
This is a word in the English language that starts and ends with the 13th letter of the alphabet
What is mom?
What are speciation and extinction?
When examining organism's DNA, we would expect to see this for organisms with a more recent common ancestor compared to organisms with a less recent common ancestor
What is more DNA similarities?
This type of population growth looks like an r on a population graph
What is logistic/logarithmic growth?
Homologous structures are stronger evidence for evolution than DNA similarities
What is false, any homologous structure should also have a DNA similarity since traits are governed by DNA?
This NBA semi-legend won championships with UCLA the Trail Blazers and the Celtics before injuries derailed his career and he became a broadcaster.
Who is Bill Walton?
Name a biotic factor
What are plants, predators, disease, etc?
On a cladogram, organisms with more homologous structures should share this compared to ones with less homologous structures
What is a more recent common ancestor?
A disease killing off 50% of a lizard population would be this from a population genetics standpoint
What is a genetic bottleneck?
Populations under selection pressures shift to have more organisms that are the most reproductively fit
What is true, reproductive fitness takes things like competition for resources into account?
This French emperor conquered a large chunk of Europe, then was exiled, then came back, then was defeated at Waterloo then exiled again
Who is Napoleon Bonapart?
Name an abiotic factor
What is sunlight, water, space, rocks, etc?
Which organisms are likely to have the least embryonic similarities on this cladogram?
What is Lyacon pictus and Canis lupis familiaris
What is its carrying capacity?
A more recent common ancestor implies that two organisms will be similarly adapted to their environment
What is false, organisms could have speciated from a common ancestor due to different environmental conditions?
Finish the phrase "Whose that pokemon?"
What is..."ITS PIKACHU!!!"
People breeding brassica oleracea plants to select for broccoli like traits is an example of this
What is artificial selection?
When looking at the geographic locations that fossils were found, carbon dating the fossils is important for this reason
This type of speciation is a result of something like mating preferences in an organism instead of geographic isolation
What is sympatric speciation?
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
What is ...?
This type of wave has the highest frequency of any electromagnetic wave
What is a gamma ray?
