Patterns of Evolution
Two different species influence each other's evolution
What is Co-evolution?
Selection that favors one phenotype
What is Directional Selection
Person who studied Galapagos Finches, Galapagos Tortoises, Marine Iguanas, and Mockingbirds in the Galapagos Islands
Who is Charles Darwin
First person to create a theory of evolution (flawed and incorrect)
Who is Jean-Baptiste Lamarck?
An example of this type of evolution is whales ancestry
What is convergent Evolution
Selection that favors the average phenotype
Theory of evolution that states individuals can change in their lifespan by not using some of their body parts, offspring receives all physical traits that could've been cut off or broken off (cut off the tail of a lizard and the baby won't have a tail), and organisms strive to be perfect.
What is Lamarck's Theory of Evolution?
What is divergent evolution
Disruptive Selection
This couple has been studying the galapagos finches for 52 years
Who are Rosemary and Pete Grant?
Co-founder of the theory of evolution and helped Charles Darwin complete the theory of evolution by natural selection
Who is Alfred Russel Wallace? (or just wallace)
Evolution where dinosaurs change to birds
Macro evolution
Traits that help a species mate (Example Peacock)
Sexual dimorphism
The reason that Galapagos Finches from different islands cannot mate
Reproductive Isolation
The ship that Charles Darwin sailed on to the Galapagos Islands
What is the HMS Beagle?
What happened to the mammals after the dinosaurs went extinct
Adaptive Radiation
The two forms of sexual selection
What is Intersexual evolution and Intrasexual evolution
Many species coming to small islands, leading to small, isolated populations that evolved in unique ways due to limited genetic diversity
What is founder effect
The animal that was most impactful to Darwin's study of the theory of evolution by natural selection
What are the galapagos finches?
