Hardy Weinberg
The frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype
What does "p2" represent in H-W equation
This process involves random changes in allele frequencies, especially in small populations.
What is genetic drift?
This process requires heritable variation, overproduction, differential survival, and competition.
What is natural selection?
The largest group in which life is organized
DOMAIN
This kingdom includes unicellular organisms with no nucleus, often found in extreme environments.
What is Archaebacteria (or Archaea)?
The frequency of the heterozygous genotype
What does "2pq" represent in the H-W Equation?
These are structures that are similar in form but may serve different functions, indicating common ancestry.
What are homologous structures?
Chinook salmon fish in Alaska produce between 2,000 to 17,000 eggs in a single spawning. Which step of natural selection does this observation support?
A. Overproduction
B. Inherited variations
C. Struggle to survive
D. Differential reproduction
What is Overproduction (A)
This naming system is more reliable than common names because it uses Latin and is universal.
What is binomial nomenclature?
This process involves movement of alleles between populations, increasing genetic similarity.
What is gene flow?
This statistical method is used to compare observed and expected frequencies under H-W equilibrium.
What is a chi-square test?
If 4% of the population has a recessive condition, this is the frequency of the recessive allele.
What is 0.2?
This type of selection occurs when traits that attract mates also increase risk from predators
What is sexual selection?
What are the 3 domains?
Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
Which designation might you find the most organisms: Order, Class, or Family
What is a class?
P and Q represent
What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele?
Define a species
What is a population of organisms that can interbreed?
The bones of a human arm are homologous to structures in all of the following except.
a. whale flipper
b. bat wing
c. butterfly wing
d. frog forelimb
what is a butterfly wing?
Which of the two domains are made up of prokaryotes
Archaea and Bacteria
When a few individuals colonize a new area, this evolutionary effect may reduce genetic diversity.
What is the founder effect?
Daily Double: All five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
What are no mutations, random mating, no natural selection, extremely large population size, and no gene flow.
These are the eight taxonomic ranks, ordered from broadest to most specific.
What are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species?
Although mutations are random, this process is not, because it consistently favors beneficial traits.
What is natural selection?
An organism is unicellular, contains organelles, and can produce its own nutrients to use as an energy source. Into which kingdom should you place this organism?
A. Plantae
B. Animalia
C. Protista
D. Fungi
Daily Double: If p = 0.7, this is the expected frequency of heterozygotes in the population.
What is 0.42 or 42%?
