Variation
Phylogenetic Trees
Selection
Drift
100
The boat that Charles Darwin manned as naturalist.
What is The Beagle?
100
The ultimate source of genetic variation.
What is mutation?
100
A clade that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants.
What is monophyly?
100
This is required, in addition to selection, for evolution to occur across generations.
What is heritability?
100
A value that is always greater than the effective population size.
What is the census population size?
200
He wrote about the concept of human overpopulation
Who is Thomas Malthus?
200
The fitness effect of most new mutations.
What is deleterious?
200
The most closely-related extant lineage of a given species.
What is a sister species?
200
The outcome of genetic linkage between female preference and male production of an attractive trait.
What is runaway selection?
200
An analogy for genetic drift where selection is like a hill.
What is the Drunkard’s Walk?
300
He independently had the idea of evolution by natural selection in a malaria-induced fever.
Who is Sir Alfred Russel Wallace?
300
This measure of genetic diversity considers both alleles at a diploid locus.
What is heterozygosity?
300
The degree of statistical support for a particular branch on a phylogenetic tree.
What is a bootstrap value?
300
Darwin’s fancy pigeons are an example of this.
What is artificial selection?
300
These populations experience genetic drift.
What are all real-world populations?
400
He is best known for believing in the inheritance of acquired characters.
Who is Jean-Baptiste Lamarck?
400
This kind of mutation does not produce a change in protein structure.
What is synonymous?
400
The organism/population that gave rise to a particular pair or groups of organisms?
What is a Most Recent Common Ancestor?
400
When female choice of males is driven by the production of attractive male offspring.
What is the sexy sons hypothesis?
400
Where genetic drift will be stronger than natural selection.
What is a small population?
500
Darwin’s friends, who arranged the joint presentation of evolution by natural selection, with Wallace.
Who are Charles Lyell and Joseph Hooker?
500
This kind of chromosomal variation can inhibit recombination between chromosomes.
What is an inversion?
500
A process that can cause discordance between species trees and gene trees.
What is Incomplete Lineage Sorting or What is Introgression/Horizontal Gene Transfer?
500
Population geneticists’ definition of evolution.
What is change in allele frequency over time?
500
This occurs when only a few individuals survive to the next generation.
What is a bottleneck?
