"Innate tendency towards perfection" and "use and disuse"
What are Lamarck's Evolution Hypotheses?
200
Explain bottlenecking
What is the genetic drift that occurs when, due to an event of some sort, a population declines to a very low number and then rebounds?
200
Mutations can be...
What is harmful, helpful and neutral?
200

Living things have changed over time (evolution)
What are the shared theories of Darwin and Lamarck?
300
Stabilizing, directional and disruptive selection are all examples of what?
What is natural selection?
300
Any permanent change in a persons DNA
What is a mutation?
300
What are the differences between derived and ancestral traits?
Derived traits - traits that just appeared in the most recent ancestor Ancestral traits - traits inherited from distant ancestors
300
The cumulative changes in groups of organisms through time
What is evolution?
400
What scientist believed that population growth would always over power food supply growth, creating perpetual states of hunger, disease and struggle.
Who is Thomas Malthus?
400
What is Allopatric Speciation?
What is a physical barrier that divides one population into two or more populations
400
There are many possible egg/sperm combinations for 2 parents (Random Fertilization of Gametes)
What is recombination?
400

What are body parts, mimicry, camouflage and antimicrobial resistance?
400
3 types of isolation are...
What are geographic, behavioral, and temporal?
500
Inheritance of acquired traits, variation exists and some organisms are better suited for their environment.
What are Darwin's theories?
500
The 5 conditions needed in the Hardy-Weinberg Principal (Genetic Equilibrium)
What are random mating, large populations, no movement into or out of the populations, no mutations and no natural selection?
500
When Chromosomes can line up at different ways during metaphase 1 of meiosis.
What is Independent Assortment?
500
The better an organism is adapted to its environment...
the greater its chance of survival and reproductive success
