Evidence of Evolution Activity
When evidence of an organism is found in sedimentary rock that is similar to one currently living.
What is fossil evidence?
Said populations will outgrow their environments, meaning more are produced than will survive.
Who is Malthus?
Evolution that happens in generations (fairly quickly) is called _______evolution.
What is micro?
Darwin saw this in organisms but didn't understand where it came from.
What is variation?
The formula to solve for allele frequency
What is p + q = 1?
What you call an organism that has BETTER traits than others in its population you say it is more ______.
What is fit or more fit?
Suggested a uniform process was happening gradually over time to shape the Earth and wrote the Principles of Geology.
Who are Hutton and Lyell?
When an intermediate phenotype is selected for...
What is stabilizing selection?
An inherited character that enhances an organism's ability to survive and reproduce.
What is an adaptation?
The migration of alleles into and out of the population.
What is gene flow?
Similar structures like the bones in your hand and the "fingers" in a fin.
Homologous structures
Sailed the sea, collected butterflies, and thought that species changed over time (wrote a book about Darwin).
Who is Wallace?
A type of isolation that separates species due to day/night or seasons.
What is temporal isolation?
A change in the genetic information of the cell.
What is mutation?
The change of allele frequency due to a natural catastrophe or random chance.
What is genetic drift?
Genetic evidence that tells us that organism are related.
What is DNA?
Suggested the theory of use and disuse, which meant traits that are acquired are inherited.
Who is Lamarck?
Two snails have different-shaped shells therefore, they cannot interbreed.
What is mechanical isolation?
A set of all the alleles within a population.
What is a gene pool?
The process by which individuals with certain traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
What is natural selection?
Structures like the appendix or the tendon in the wrist that are no longer needed.
What are vestigial structures?
The boat that Darwin voyaged on and the name of the islands he visited.
What is the HMS Beagle and the Galapagos?
A population isolates itself on an island is called ________________, and then a disease wipes out half of the individuals is called __________________.
What is founders effect followed by a genetic bottleneck?
White fur in mice is recessive. 8 out of 20 in a population have white fur. What is the frequency of the dominant allele?
What is 12/20 or 60%?
The three main sources of new genetic variation are:
What are mutation, gene flow, and sexual reproduction?
