Adaptations/Selection
a change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment.
What is Adaptation
This is the evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species.
What is speciation
This is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.
What is mutation
Darwin was born in this year
What is 1809
This is the stock of different genes in an interbreeding population.
What is Gene Pool
The type of selection that caused wolves to branch into the large range of dogs we have today
What is Artificial Selection
This is an anatomical feature that no longer seems to have a purpose in the current form of an organism of the given species.
What is a Vestigial Structure
These are the 3 main types of mutations
What is point, deletion, and insertion
This man made the theory of evolution
Charles Darwin
This is where Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction
What is The Theory of Evolution
These types of selection are the main 3 types
What is Stabilizing,Directional, and Disruptive
This is the quantitative representation of natural and sexual selection within evolutionary biology. It can be defined either with respect to a genotype or to a phenotype in a given environment.
What is fitness
Mutations on genes occur on coding regions of DNA strands. These changes can be as simple as a single nucleotide addition or deletion, or as complex as a large portion of a chromosome is added, deleted, or inverted.
What is where mutations occur
Darwin studied these birds for his evolution theory
What is Finches
This is the process where by organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
What is natural selection
These are 2 types of anatomical structures we talked about.
What is Homologous, Vestigial
This is a measure of how well differences in people's genes account for differences in their traits.
What is heritability
Sickle cell disease is an example
What is a silent mutation
This is the island Darwin studied on where he found finches
What is Galapagos Island
An example is having a scar or another skill
What is non heritable variation
Beef cattle are bred to produce more meat
Artificial Selection
These are features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral feature (compare to homologous structures) and which evolved in response to a similar environmental challenge.
What is a analogous structure
This is where they are associated with because they help make animals and different traits happen which makes them look different.
What is how mutations are related to Evolution
Darwin thought we evolved from this animal
All dogs are linked to this animal
What is a wolf
