Charles Darwin
The place where he made most of his observations.
Galápagos Islands?
The changing over time of a structure to better suit its environment
Structural Adaption (Adaptation)
Different versions of genes
What are alleles?
If this allele is present, then it will show up in the offspring's phenotype.
What is dominant?
a group of organisms within the same species that can interbreed
What is population?
What were the birds that were made famous by him
Finches
These are necessary for evolution to occur. Most are not harmful.
What are mutations?
The carrier of genetic information
What is DNA?
Describe this genotype: RR
What is homozygous dominant?
a group of organisms who share similar characteristics and can mate with each other to produce offspring.
What is species?
The process where organisms better suited to their environment survive and pass on their traits
Natural Selection
What is reproduction and/or variation?
What percentage of a punnett square would be Homozygous Dominant with Tt x TT
50%
Describe this genotype: rr
What is homozygous recessive?
a new organism that is the product of reproduction
What is offspring?
The name of the book he published about his findings.
On the Origin of the Species (will also take Origin of Species)
Name one piece of evidence which proves evolution.
What is:
* Comparative anatomy (homologous structures)
* Fossil record
* DNA comparison
* Geological Data
What is genotype?
In a dihybrid punnett square:
1. How many offspring are represented
2. What is the ratio
1. 16 offspring
2. 9:3:3:1
the study of heredity
What is genetics?
The name of the boat that he took on his travels around the world (Full Name)
HMS Beagle
Main idea of Lamarcks theory of evolution
~ Animals improve their traits as they use them over their lifetime ~
What happenes to the phenotype with a codominance combination?
Both phenotypes are being expressed
If both parents have brown eyes but an offspring has blue eyes, how would you describe the parents genotype
Heterozygous
the passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring
What is heredity?
