Coevolution
This is a type of coevolution that benefits both species and commensalism.
What is Mutualism?
The null hypothesis of evolution
What is the Hardy Weinberg Theorem?
What is Essentialist
This animal has evolved to be very fast and agile in an environment where it is faster than all other predators.
What is the Pronghorn?
This is a process during meiosis where small parts of a chromosome swap locations in a homologous pair.
What is crossing over?
This type of relationship can be commonly in pollinators.
What is resource-service?
The comparison between phenotypes (or genotypes) of average number of offspring produced?
What is relative fitness?
Lyell described this place as "the center of creation" to explain biodiversity.
The Galapagos Islands
This organelle entered into a symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells many years ago, allowing us to analyze when our most common ancestor was.
What is the mitochondria?
The process that converts the DNA code to proteins
What is translation?
This type of parasite exploitates other organisms by stealing food from them.
What is Kleptoparasitism?
Groups of species that are extremely difficult to differentiate using observations.
What is a cryptic species?
These two species helped Darwin demonstrate abundant variation within species.
What are Barnacles and Pigeons?
This experiment dealing with canid domestication concluded that selection for one specific trait often has a cascade of unintended consequences for a lineage of organisms
What is the Silver Fox Experiment
This form of expression takes place both alleles are expressed simultaneously
What is co-dominace?
In this relationship between parasites and their hosts, the parasite is often looking for a very specific benefit from its host and can go to some pretty crazy extremes to get it.
What is control parasitism?
The most famous long-running experiments of evolution that observed natural selection altering the phenotype of E. coli bacteria
The Lenski Experiment or “Long-term Evolution Experiment”
This scientist claimed that animals adapted to their environment throughout their lives and was constantly evolving to a more evolved state.
Who is Lamarck?
This courtship dance is used as a form of sexual selection to outcompete other species.
What is Lekking?
This scientific experiment is a multi-generational test that breeds two homozygous populations to located a gene on a chromosome.
What is Quantitative Trait Locus Analysis (QTL)
This idea states that despite all the changes that occur due to coevolution, the evolutionary arms race between species generally results in stasis.
What is the Red Queen Hypothesis
This results in the strongest evolutionary result.
What is high selection, high heritability, and low population?
This is a law created by Wallace that states, "Every species has come into existence coincident both in space and time with a closely allied species."
The Sarawak Law
This parasite is an example of control parasitism that benefits from increasing it's hosts reproduction rate while sometimes providing protection to the host.
What is Wolbacchia?
What is polyploidy?
