What is the Shark?
DNA gets transcribed into RNA and translated into proteins.
What is The Central Dogma?
An inherited trait that enhances an organisms ability to survive.
What is an adaptation?
Populations, not __________ evolve.
What is individuals?
If embryos of fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals all look alike early in their development, what does that indicate about there ancestor?
What is they share a common ancestor?
This occurs when flowers pollinate in different seasons.
What is temporal isolation?
What does this image represent?

What is predation, climate, environment, competition?
What population is most effected by allele movement into and out of the population?
What is small populations?
Structures that no longer have a function.
What is a vestigial structure?
When two birds no longer mate because one has developed a different song.

What is gene flow, genetic drift, immigration, mutation, crossing over, independent assortment
Nature applies pressure to select traits vs humans selecting traits
What is the difference between natural selection and artificial selection?
Whales and snakes have hip bones.
What is evidence for evolution?
When organisms can no longer mate this process occurs.

What is q is a recessive allele frequency, while q2 is recessive trait frequency?
Evolution is simply descent with...
What is modification?
If you run a gel electrophoresis on 2 organisms, and you find few amino acid sequences in common, what does that tell you about their common ancestor?
What is that their common ancestor is far back in their evolutionary past.
in order for two similar groups of organisms to form into different species, this must occur.
What is reproductive isolation?
What does this image represent?
