Scientist who finds and studies fossils:
paleontologist
100
creates new genetic variation; "raw" material for evolution
mutations
100
All of the same species that live in the same area:
population
100
A group of individual organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring together in nature:
species
200
Darwin said that evolution occurred through the process of:
natural selection
200
The strongest evidence for evolution from a common ancestor:
comparing DNA sequences
200
When individuals move into or out of a population and affect the allele frequencies:
gene flow
200
All of the genes of all the members of the population:
gene pool
200
The process by which two interacting species evolve together, with each influencing the other's evolution:
coevolution
300
English geologist that suggested that the Earth had to be millions of years old because of the slow geological processes:
Charles Lyell
300
The study of how and why plants and animals live where they do:
biogeography
300
A random change in allele frequencies that happen in a small population:
genetic drift
300
What are the two equations used to calculate Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
(p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1) and (p + q = 1)
300
Isolating mechanism in which two organisms can interbreed, but don't because of different courtship rituals:
behavioral isolation
400
Came up with a theory of evolution through the inheritance of acquired characteristics:
Jean Baptiste Lamarck
400
What type of evolution evidence is shown below?
comparative embryology
400
When a population suddenly gets much smaller and the genetic variability is greatly reduced (cheetahs):
bottleneck effect
400
An organism's ability to survive and reproduce fertile offspring in an environment:
fitness
400
Type of speciation that occurs when some members of an original species become geographically separated from the rest of the species:
allopatric speciation
500
When humans select certain traits when breeding plants and animals:
artificial selection
500
structures that are similar in structure in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor
homologous structures
500
Type of natural selection show below:
disruptive selection
500
State 4 of the 5 parts of the Hardy-Weinberg Theorem:
1) No new mutations
2) No migration
3) Large population
4) Random mating
5) No natural selection

What timing of evolution is show below?
punctuated equilibrium
