Genetic Engineering
What do you call the circular DNA that can be found in bacteria in which gene of interest was inserted?
plasmid
At which period did the humans first appear?
Quaternary
It refers to the process where individual organisms that have favorable traits experience greater fitness and reproductive success than those that do not have the trait.
natural selection
Example scenario of this prezygotic isolation barriers is that some frogs have their mating season during summer, while others copulate during winter.
Temporal
He believed in evolution by natural selection, wherein organisms that are well adapted to their environment are more likely to survive.
Charles Darwin
Protein used in genetic engineering that have the property of cleaving DNA molecule at or near specific base sequences.
restriction enzymes
The era around 4500 - 4000 MYA in which the temperature on Earth was too high to the point that no life forms exist.
Hadean Era
This is the primary principle behind selective breeding used for producing new varieties of plants and animals.
artificial selection
This form of prezygotic isolation barrier is mainly dependent on the differences in the morphological features of the individuals for copulation or pollination.
Mechanical
Theory of Jean Baptiste-Lamarck states that those organs/parts which are used frequently become strong and more developed while those organs/parts which are not used become weak and degenerate.
Theory of Use and Disuse
Product of genetic engineering created by UPLB to reduce food waste.
BT Eggplant/BT Talong
At what period did dinosaurs first appear?
Triassic
Example of genetic drift wherein there's a change in allele frequencies as a result of migration of a small subgroup of a population.
Founder Effect
Mode of speciation through total geographic isolation of the two incipient populations, preventing them from mating.
Allopatric Speciation
Naturalist in Middle ages viewed that evolution happen with a purpose. This view contradict to modern evolutionary concept that explains evolution is a random mechanism brought by phenomena such as natural selection and genetic drift.
St Thomas Aquinas
The purpose of creating this GMO is to address the vitamin A deficiency in poor nations.
Golden Rice
At what era of Precambrian Eon the Earth cools down that gives rise to primitive microorganism?
Archean/Archaean Era
Genetic drift where there is an abrupt reduction in the size of a population caused by random environmental events.
Bottleneck Effect
With this postzygotic isolation barrier, it is possible that incipient individuals can produce an offspring, however, this offspring may lack the capacity to achieve sexual maturity and be able to reproduce.
Hybrid Inviability
The naturalist who wrote the book, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation. He claimed that fossils show the progressive changes that happen to organisms.
Robert Chambers
Who created the first transgenic animal (mouse)?
Rudolf Jaenisch
What period of Paleozoic era is also known as the “Age of Fishes”?
Devonian
The transfer of genetic material from one population to another.
Gene Flow
In this mode of speciation, the incipient individuals still have the opportunity to mate, however, they tend to develop and occupy different niches in their habitats which leads to a reduction of the gene flow with individuals that occupy the other niche.
Sympatric Speciation
Who was the early naturalist that organized living and non-living thigs into hierarchy? Minerals at the bottom and human in the top of the ladder.
Aristotle
