Natural Selection
Name a resource
Food, water, shelter, sunlight, space, available reproductive partners, trees, rocks, idk dude there's a lot of these
Analogous structures between organisms are strong evidence of a common ancestor
What is "this is not true, analogous structures have similar functions but different structures, meaning that the organisms likely did not evolve from a common ancestor"
What is a genetic bottleneck?
This is the part of the RNA that is spliced out before translation happens
What is an exon?
This is a word beginning and ending with fifth letter of the alphabet
What is epee, eve, excrete, evaluate, eviscerate, expunge, exhume, endure, etc.
Hawks eating squirrels is an example of this for the squirrel population
What is a selection pressure?
Chickens and geckos having similar skull structures likely means they likely share a common ancestor in their past
What is "this claim is true, homologous structures like those in avians and reptiles indicate a good chance that they have a common ancestor with a similar skull shape"
What is genetic drift?
This part of the cell is responsible for storage of materials, such as the amino acids needed to attach to tRNA for translation
What is vacuole or vesicle?
Raekwon and Inspectah Deck are some lesser known members of this hip-hop group but cash still rules everything around them. And you still wouldn't want to meet them in the 36 Chambers.
Who are the Wu-Tang Clan?
This is the name for the mathematical model of populations that are not undergoing natural selection
What is Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
The following evidence indicates that humans and cats have a more recent common ancestor than humans and dogs
Casein sequence:
Human: A A C G Cat: A A T T Dog: A A C C
What is "this claim is likely false based on the evidence, human and dog DNA for the sequence for casein is more similar than human and cat, similar DNA indicates a more recent split from a common ancestor"
An organism's likelihood to pass down its genetics is referred to as this
What is its fitness or reproductive fitness?
Water is this, which means it forms hydrogen bonds with other things that are this, but NOT with things that are non-this.
What is polar?
Its Electrode!
Whose that pokemon?
Selection pressure, competition, genetic diversity, reproduction
Fossil evidence is stronger evidence for phylogeny than DNA evidence
What is "this claim is false, it depends on the amount of evidence that you have, and with similar amounts of information, DNA is the stronger piece of evidence. Fossils are snapshots of a location and time of one individual, DNA is likely similar through a whole species"
In Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, if the dominant allele has a frequency of 0.6, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?
What is 0.4?
Following a pattern of incomplete dominance, these are the chances that two heterozygous parents with red fur produce a child with red fur.
What is 25%?
This point guard, nicknamed "White Chocolate" is one of the few people in the NBA to go the finals with the same organization both as a coach and player (not at the same time).
Who is Jason Williams?
A population without limited resources or selection pressures will experience growth that follows this type of mathematical function
What is exponential?
Logarithmic growth means that a population is undergoing natural selection
What is "this statement is false. While logarithmic growth is often an indicator that a species may be undergoing natural selection, it simply implies that there is a selection pressure and/or limited resources, not that organisms are adapting to those conditions"
In Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, if the dominant allele has a frequency of 0.6, what is the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype?
What is 0.36?
This is likely the last part of the protein's structure that will break down when it is denaturing from heat exposure
What is the primary structure?
This Houston based author will always have his heart in San Antonio where he worked as a newspaper reporter and middle school science teacher before writing hits such as The Rap Yearbook, Hip-Hop And Other Things, and Movies And Other Things
Who is Shea Serrano?
