Evolution
The process of biological change in populations over time that makes descendants genetically different from their ancestors
Evolution
When species no longer exist
Extinction
preserved remains of organisms
Fossils
What is taxonomy?
field of biology that classifies organisms
-organizes organisms by similar characteristics
white pine= pinus strobus
Pinus strobus
Always italics with the Genus capitalized and species not
where is Darwin travel to?
Galapagos Islands
forming a new species by evolution from a pre-existing species
speciation
Structures with little or no function to an organism
and draw and example
Examples: varied
What is the 2-name naming system called?
Binomial nomenclature
How many siblings do I have?
I am the youngest out of five
I have 4 siblings
a measure of how well you can survive in your environment
fitness
This is a type of evolution that happened to humans
A common ancestor of mammals gave rise to bears, monkeys, elephants and koalas
Divergent evolution
Study of the form of living things
Morphology
Daily Double!
Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Eukarya
animals with a backbone
What do mutations do for evolution?
Creates new genotypes and phenotypes.
Changes the allele frequencies.
Increases Variation.
Daily Double!
temporal isolation
Different structurally but same functionally
therefore not related
Analogous structures
Write out the correct order of taxonomy from most general to most specific. Do not include domain.
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What is a cast fossil?
Imprint that fills in with minerals from sediment and groundwater, it can harden to form a fossil.
Write the definition of Natural Selection
organisms with the "best" traits will live longer and reproduce more than others, causing change in the population over time by acting on the traits that are heritable
An example of this type of evolution is how flowers and the insects that pollinate them have changed over time together
coevolution
Definition: microevolution that has been directly observed due to occurring in populations with short life cycles that reproduce quickly
Direct Observation
Draw me a cladogram with human, fish, monkey, salamander
Traits to include: vertebrae, opposable thumbs, four limbs
pic on board
What are the six kingdoms?
Animal, Plant, Protists, Fungi, Bacteria, Archaebacteria
