Cladograms
100
Two major types of mutations.
What are point and frameshift?
100
The driving force of artificial selection.
What are humans?
100
The process that creates new species.
What is speciation?
100
The study of fossils.
What is paleontology?
100
Something a cladogram cannot tell you.
What is time?
200
When a mutation causes no change in the protein.
What is silent?
200
The measure of an organism's survivability.
What is fitness?
200
Two methods of speciation.
What are behavioral and geographic isolation?
200
Structures that are build the same but have different functions.
What are homologous structures?
200
Something a cladogram does tell you.
What are evolutionary relationships?
300
When a mutation causes change but continues.
What is missense?
300
The driving force of natural selection.
What is survival of the fittest?
300
The result of behavioral or geographic isolation.
What are new species?
300
Structures that are built different but have the same function.
What are analogous structures?
300
The oldest organism on this chart.
What are fish?
400
Initial: AATTGG
New: TATTGG
What is point substitution?
400
The majority of the future population of our butterflies.
What are blended?
400
A new river flows through a colony of rabbits. This results in new rabbit species.
What is geographic isolation?
400
Leftover structures that used to be helpful but no longer serve a function.
What are vestigial structures?
400
The most closely related group to reptiles.
What are birds?
500
Initial: AATTGG
New: ATTGG
What is frameshift deletion?
500
The four principles of natural selection.
What are variation, competition, extra offspring, and fitness?
500
Birds from the same area sing different songs and do not mate together.
What is behavioral isolation?
500
The study of embryos.
What is embryology?
500
The youngest group(s) on this chart.
What are rodents and primates?
