Types of Natural Selection
Factors that Lead to Natural Selection
100
This theory states that a population will change gradually via natural selection
Evolution
100
The preserved remains of dead organisms
Fossils
100
The process by which new species evolve from existing species
Speciation
100
Organisms best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. This is the mechanism of evolution
Natural Selection
100
What do we call a random change in an organism's DNA?
Mutation
200
Who is the father of evolution, author of On the Origin of Species
Charles Darwin
200
Body structures that have similarities, but they have different functions (i.e. whale fins and human hands)
Anatomy (Homologous structures)
200
What type of isolation happens when two populations are separated by a geographic barrier
Geographic isolation
200
How well a species is able to survive and reproduce in its environment
Fitness
200
Male cardinals with brighter feathers will have more success at attracting mates. What factor is being described here?
Sexual Selection
300
What is an allele?
A version/variation of a trait
300
What is an evidence-supported explanation for why something happens?
Theory
300
What type of isolation happens when species cannot reproduce due to different behaviors (i.e. nocturnal vs diurnal)
Behavioral isolation
300
When natural selection selects for one extreme version of a trait
Directional Selection
300
A characteristic or trait that allows an organism to survive and reproduce
Adaptation
400
What are large-scale changes to organisms leading to the creation of new species?
Macroevolution
400
Birds on a chain of islands have different beak shapes best suited to the foods on their respective islands. What is this an example of?
Geography/biogeography
400
What type of isolation has caused these beetles to evolve into different species? 
Geographic Isolation
400
When natural selection selects for both extremes of a trait.
Disruptive Selection
400
A blackbird migrates from its eastern colony to the western colony. What factor is described here?
Gene flow
500
What are small changes to alleles within a population over a short period of time?
Microevolution
500
Embryology/Developmental Evidence
500
What type of isolation happens when organisms cannot reproduce due to mating at different times of the year?
Temporal Isolation
500
When natural selection selects for the average version of the trait
Stabilizing Selection
500
Butterfies with darker colored wings can avoid predators more easily than butterflies with lighter colored wings.
Natural selection
600
These two organelles are believed to have once been bacteria that could use photosynthesis and respiration, respectively
Chloroplast and Mitochondria
600
Ostritches don't fly, but they have wings. What do we call structures that are no longer functional?
Vestigial structures
600
A horse and a donkey can make a mule. The mule cannot reproduce. How would we describe the mule?
Not viable
600
What is the common ancestor of the organisms in the diagram below?
Lamprey
600
An oil spill killed 25,000 fish in the Gulf of Mexico. What factor is being described here?
Genetic Drift
