What's Science?
This is how we describe the world around us, usually by the things we see.
What are through observations?
The method used to generate all of science is called this.
What is the scientific method?
The first person to observe and write about animals from all over the world while traveling on the HMS Beagle and to come up with the concept of natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin?
The change over time is called this.
What is evolution?
This is an example of what evolutionary mechanism.
A group of birds was flying one day when a huge storm killed many of them. There were fewer survivors left but they continued to reproduce.
What is genetic drift?
Bottleneck effect.
Experiments must be able to be done many times.
What is repeatable?
This is the first part of the scientific process.
What is to make an observation?
This man prompted Darwin to actually publish his findings from the Galapagos because he himself had the same ideas.
'Survival of the fittest' is the common saying referring to this scientific term.
What is natural selection?
When there is an alteration in alleles or genomes of individuals it is called this.
What is mutation?
This is the purpose of science.
What is to describe the world and how it works?
This is observing something specific then making a general statement.
What is inductive reasoning?
He was the first to recognize diversity.
Who is Plato?
In order.
What is
1) Variability
2) Heritability
3) More offspring survive than die
4) Natural selection
This is the only way to introduce new alleles in a species.
What is a mutation?
This is a trustworthy interpretation of experiments.
What is a key aspect of science?
These are commonly misused words in science.
What are fact, law, theory, and hypothesis?
(Know the difference!)
Who is Lamark?
These are Darwin's four postulates in order.
1) Variability
2) Heritability
3) Survivability
4) Natural Selection
This specific type of evolutionary mechanism leads to lower genetic variation/diversity.
What is a bottle neck?
Example: Cheetahs from lecture.
This is the purpose of science.
What is, to seek increasingly accurate natural descriptions of the natural world?
This is what we don't say science determines.
What is proof or truth.
He believed that all things had ordered complexity.
Who is Aristotle?
This is the book Charles Darwin published his idea of natural selection and evolution.
Darwin's finches are a perfect example of this evolutionary mechanism.
What is the founder effect?
