What is Adaptive Radiation?
Occurs when a small group of ancestral species rapidly diversifies into a large number of descendant species.
What is an example of Directional Selection?
-Giraffes neck because they need long necks to reach leaves in trees so they grow with longs necks and not short like human.
What is Speciation
A Group of species separates from its other members and develops its own unique characteristics.
What is coevolution?
A species evolve along side another specie
What is Darwin's theory of natural selection.
Within any population, the fittest individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genetic traits to future generations.
What is Convergent Evolution?
Occurs when organisms that aren’t that related evolve similar features/behaviors.(for solutions for a common problem)
What is an example of Disruptive Selection
Lighter rabbits would be easier to stop by predators while black rabbits could hide easily and survive.
What is a Species
A group of organisms that exchange DNA due to interbreeding.
Example of coevolution
Rabbit and Fox because if one gets faster the other will have to get faster too.
What is natural selection
It is when oem species has to adapt or die, and if it doesn't adapt, it gets wiped out
What is a similarity or differences between convergent evolution and Adaptive Radiation?
Adaptive Radiation is an evolutionary process in which different species evolve to adapt to their environment While convergent evolution is when different species evoke for the same function.
What is an example of stabilizing selection
Birth weight because if a baby is born to small it could die due to lack of heat but if it is too big the mother could die due to complications in birth.
What is an isolation mechanism?
Anything that stops two species from interbreeding.
Another Example Of Coevolution
Bees and flowers
How many different finches are there due to natural selection on each island.
17 species
