|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evolution | the process in which population changes over time
🗑
|
||||
| What are the types of evolution? | microevolution and macroevolution
🗑
|
||||
| Microevolution | evolution or change on a small scale
🗑
|
||||
| Macroevolution | evolution or change on a large scale
🗑
|
||||
| Population Genetics | the science that studies the change in distribution of traits within a species population (A.K.A gene pool)
🗑
|
||||
| Species | Organisms that are so genetically similar that they have the potential to breed and produce that are viable and fertile
🗑
|
||||
| Viable | living
🗑
|
||||
| Fertile | able to reproduce eventually themselves
🗑
|
||||
| What four criteria is population defined by? | Same species of organism
Located in the same location
At the same time
And showing signs of reproduction (offspring is present within the group)
🗑
|
||||
| Geographic Range | the geographical area within which a species can be found
🗑
|
||||
| Organisms that are common may have... | several populations that cover a wide range
🗑
|
||||
| What is one example of a range that is global? | humans
🗑
|
||||
| Geographic Barriers | large mountains or bodies of water
🗑
|
||||
| Do individuals evolve? | no; but populations do
🗑
|
||||
| Can you change DNA? | no
🗑
|
||||
| Mutations | random changes that occur in an organism’s DNA. Some help individuals survive in their environment and reproduce and some do not. Other mutations have no effect
🗑
|
||||
| If a mutation (change) occurs in the DNA of sex cells (gametes) of the parent(s) then what happens? | changes can be inherited by the offspring
🗑
|
||||
| Allele Frequency | how many alleles are present at that time within the population
🗑
|
||||
| Fixed | there is no change in frequency; no evolution is present (a state of equilibrium)
🗑
|
||||
| Evolving | frequency is changing; evolution is occurring (a state of change over time)
🗑
|
||||
| There are always how many traits for an allele? | 2
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
