Chapter 16
What specifically does microevolution look at?
Change in allele frequencies
What is created when a sperm cells joins to an egg cell?
zygote
What is a habitat
Where an organism lives
Where does energy flow begin within an ecosystem?
In what city will the next Winter Olympics take place?
Milan, Italy
Define a population and a community
pop: similar organisms in the same place at the same time
comm: different populations in the same place interacting
What is speciation
The splitting of one species into two or more different species
What are the three distribution patterns?
Clumped, random, uniform
What is a niche? Can individuals of the same habitat occupy the same niche?
function/purpose in the community, no
A group of crows is commonly referred to as a "murder," but what is a group of Pugs called?
Grumble
List and define the two types of effects of genetic drift
Bottleneck effect, founders effect
What is the main difference between allopatric and sympatric speciation?
provide an example discussed in the lecture of allopatric speciation
geographical location, salamanders of California
more births or deaths, max "r"
What are the types of succession and where does each begin?
Primary: rock due to volcano/glacial activity
secondary: establish soil
What is the name of the Elvin short sword used by Bilbo, then passed to Frodo which glows blue when orcs are nearby?
Sting
List and define the three types of natural selection
Directional, stabilizing, disruptive
define homologous and analogous structures, then explain convergent evolution
homologous: same structure, different function, ancestor
analogous: same function, different structure, no ancestor
flippers on different species
Define survivorship
List and define the three survivorship curves
likelihood of something surviving
Types 1, 2, 3
List all types of heterotrophs and what they consume
Herbivores: plants
carnivores: meat
Omnivores: both
Decomposers: decaying material
Many Presidents have had normal pets in the White House, but John Quincy Adams made a name for himself by keeping what animal in a White House bathtub for several months?
Alligator
List the five Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium requirements and what the result is when all five are met
No mutation, no gene flow, no selection, large population, random mating
no evolution is occuring
List all prezygotic and postzygotic isolating mechanisms and define three of them
Habitat, temporal, behavioral, mechanical, gamete, zygote mortality, hybrid sterility
Define opportunistic and equilibrium species. Tell me their types of growth, characteristics, and examples of each
opportunistic: exponential, many offspring, weeds
equilibrium: logistic, few offspring, mammals
List and define the three symbiosis relationships. Provide at least one example of any relationship
Mutualism: +,+ plants and pollonators
commensalism: +, no effect. barnacles on whales
parasitism: +,- parasites
