100

Organisms that adapt over time in response to their changing environment.

What is the theory of evolution?

100

Provides a record of how animals evolve, and shows that all species are related to each other. 

What is fossil evidence? 

100

Evolution that happens within a short period of time.

What is Microevolution?

100

A change in the DNA sequence of an organism. 

What is mutation?

100

Keeps genes in a narrow window (if a baby is too bug or too small that baby has a higher risk of dying as well as the mother.) 

What is stabilizing selection?

200

French naturalist who believed in the inheritance of acquired characteristics. (Darwins Influence)

Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck? 

200

Similar structures are inherited from a common ancestor but serve different functions. (Comparative Anatomy)

What is Homologous Structure? 

200

Evolution that happens over a long period of time. 

What is macroevolution?

200

Individuals move in and out of gene pools.

What is gene flow?

200

Two extreme phenotypes are selected (finches beaks, long/slender or thick/strong.)

What is Directional Selection?

300

English economist who believed that if the human population grows too fast for resources the weakest will die. (Darwin's Influence)

Who is Thomas Malthus?

300

Structures that are similar in function but come from unrelated organisms. (Comparative Anatomy)

What is an Analogous Structure? 

300

Science that focuses on the evolution within a population.

What is Population Genetics?

300

random changes in a small population; sudden decrease.

What is Genetic Drift: Bottleneck?

300

Phenotypes in the middle of the range are selected against (male cardinals red and female cardinals gray.)

What is Disruptive Selection?

400

A book written by Charles Darwin. 

What is the Origin of Species? 

400

Study of the similarities and differences in embryos of different species.

What is Comparative Embyology?

400

All genes of all the members of a population.

What is a Gene Pool?

400

random changes in a small population; a new population starts from a small group.

What is genetic drift: Founder Effect? 

400

Alleles in a population don't change if, no mutations, no migrations, a large population, mating is random, and no natural selection. 

What is the Hardy-Weinberg Therom?

500

1. Species change over time

2. Earth was very old

3. Struggle for existence with population growth

4.Fitness = Ability to survive

5. Artificial selection  

6. Natural selection

What is Darwin's Theory?

500

Structures that have no apparent function but where once used by past ancestors.  

What are Vegtigial Strucures.

500

Shows how many of each allele is found in the population.

What is Allele Frequency?

500

Organisms with better fitness are more likely to survive. 

What is natural selection?

500

Study of similarities and differences in structures of different species. 

What is Comparative Anatomy?
