Scientists of Evolution
This person believed in inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Who is Lamarck?
Evolution that happens in a short period of time.
What is Microevolution?
Vary the alleles in a population.
What is mutation?
When new species evolve.
Conditions are changing evolution happens more quickly.
What is Punctuated Equilibrium?
This person thought the Earth is older than what people thought.
Who is Charles Lyell?
Evolution that happens over very many years.
Individuals move in and out of gene pool.
What is Gene Flow?
Geographic separation which doesn't allow species to interbreed.
Scientist that study fossils.
What are Paleontologists?
This person believed humans populations grow too fast for resources and the weakest die when diseases and famine occur.
Number of a specific species in a given area.
What is population?
Random changes that happen in small population.
What is genetic Drift?
New species without geographic separation. (Hawthorne Fly)
What is Sympatric Speciation?
Study of similarities and differences in structures of different species.
What is Comparative Anatomy?
This person took a 5 year trip in the RMS Beagle to the Galapagos Island.
Who is Darwin?
All genes of all members of a population.
What is Gene Pool?
The process whereby organisms are better adapted to their environment tends to survive and produce more offspring. There are 3 types of this.
What is Natural Selection?
Species in symbiotic relationships tend to evolve together.
What is Coevolution?
Similar structures from common ancestors.
This theorem states that alleles don't change if there are no mutations, no migration, and no natural selection. It also says that mating is random.
What is Hardy-Weinberg?
This shows how many of each allele is found in the population.
What is Allele Frequency?
What is Artificial Selection?
Geologic and climate conditions are stable.
What is Gradualism?
Similar structures but are unrelated.
What are Analogous Structures?
