Question
Answer
change over time by which a modern organism has decended from ancient organisms   evolution  
🗑
During his travels, _________ made numerous observations and collected evidence that led_______ changes over time   Darwin, life  
🗑
Darwin observed characteristics of many animals and plants varied noticeably among the different islands of the ____________.   galapagos  
🗑
Returning home, Darwin developed his hypothesis that these _______ species were once the same species and that they had evolved from the original South American species after becoming _________ on the island   separate, isolated  
🗑
Hutton and Lyell helped scientists recognize that earth is many millions of years old and the processes that ________ earth in the past are the same processes that operate in the present   changed  
🗑
________ proposed that by selective use of disuse of organs, organisms aquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. These traits could then be passed on to their offspring.   Lamarck  
🗑
Who reasoned that if the human population continued to grow unchecked sooner or later there would be insufficient living space and food for everyone   malthus  
🗑
differences among individuals of a species   natural variation  
🗑
selection where traits people wanted were bred for, things they didnt want were bred out   artificial  
🗑
members of each species compete regularly to obtain food, living space, and other necessities   struggle for existence  
🗑
the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce in its specific environment is its_________   fitness  
🗑
any inherited characteristic that increases an organisms chance of survival is an-------   adaptation  
🗑
over time, natural selection results in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population. these changes _________ a species fitness in its environment.   increase  
🗑
common descent principle that implies all organisms were all related   descent with modifications  
🗑
Darwin argued that living things have been evolving on earth for millions of years. Evidence of this process could be found in the fossil record, the __ distribution of living species, homologous structures of living organisms, and __ in early development   geographical, similarities  
🗑
structures which have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissue   homologous  
🗑
combined genetic information of all the members of a population   gene pool  
🗑
the what of an allele is the number of times that allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles occur   relative frequency  
🗑
two main sources of genetic variation are _________ and the genetic _______ that results from sexual reproduction   mutations, shuffling  
🗑
the number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many ______ control the trait   genes  
🗑
controlled by a single gene with only 2 alleles, leads to only two distinct phenotypes   single-gene trait  
🗑
traits controlled by two or more genes   polygenic traits  
🗑
natural selection on single-gene traits can lead to changes in allele frequency and thus to _________   evolution  
🗑
Natural selection can affect the distributions of phenotypes in any of three ways name them   directional selection, stabilizing selection, disruptive selection  
🗑
when individuals at one end of the curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end __________ selection takes place   directional  
🗑
when individuals at the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the curve, ___________ selection takes place   stabilizing  
🗑
when individual at the upper and lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than those near the middle, __________ selection takes place   disruptive  
🗑
which selection leads to two distinct phenotypes?   disruptive  
🗑
random change is allele frequency is __________ ________   genetic drift  
🗑
in small populations that carry a particular allele may leave more descendants that other individuals, just by chance true or false?   true  
🗑
a situation where allele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of individuals is known as the what effect?   founder  
🗑
what principle states that allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change ~ p2+2pq+q2=1   Hardy-Weinberg  
🗑
the situation in which allele frequencies remain constant is called what?   genetic equilibrium  
🗑
name the five conditions necessary for hardy-Weinberg equilibrium   vary large population, isolated (no migration) mutations dont alter the gene pool, mating is random, all individuals are equal in reproductive success  
🗑
the formation of new species   speciation  
🗑
as new species evolve, populations become   reproductively  
🗑
when the members of two populations can no longer interbreed and produce fertile offspring, what isolation has occurred   reproductive  
🗑
what isolation occurs when two populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other types of behavior   behavioral  
🗑
what isolation occurs when two populations are seperated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water   geographical  
🗑
isolation in which two or more species live in the same habitat but reproduce at different times   temporal  
🗑
