Darwin's Influences
Stated the Earth was millions, not thousands of years old.
Who is Hutton
A relationship where both interacting organisms are benefited.
What is mutualism
When sperm and egg can't physically bond to form a zygote.
What is gamete isolation
Selection favoring the individual trait
What is stabilizing selection
A change in the sequence of DNA
What is a mutation
Stated species disappear due to catastrophic events.
Who is Cuvier
When one organism kills another to benefit from consumption.
What is predation
An environmental change resulting in population change.
What is ecological isolation
Selection favoring the extreme.
What is directional selection
Transfer of alleles from one population to their offspring.
What is gene flow
Stated that once an organism has advanced a specific organ, the growth will be passed onto offspring. (Law of Use and Disuse)
Who is Lamarck
When an organism benefits at the expense of the other.
What is parasitism
A barrier to breeding is when an organism can’t differentiate between its own kind
What is behavioral isolation
Selects organism against the intermediate.
What is disruptive selection
Mating with human interference
What is non-random mating
Stated the Earth evolves at uniform rates (Uniformitarianism).
Who is Lyell
When two organisms fight for the same resource.
What is competition
Separation of species due to separate needs.
What is mechanical isolation
When an organism imitates another organism for survival.
What is mimicry
Reduction of genetic variation resulting in different genotypes.
What is the founder effect
Spoke with Darwin about the Theory of Evolution, and eventually collaborated on a paper together discussing their theories.
Who is Wallace
A relationship where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited.
Isolation where the timing of reproduction is critical to the species.
What is temporal isolation
Evolutionary advancement assists prey in surviving against predators.
What is the anti-predator defense
A natural disaster causes a mass reduction in population.
What is the bottleneck effect
