Evolution

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are the three important characteristics to note about natural selection?   Not limited to any particular type of population, effeccts are NOT random: Those who are better adapted phenotypes increase in frequency, and NO GENE FLOW  
🗑
what is non-random mating?   assortive mating: choose mates with similar phenotypes to your own  
🗑
What does non-random mating cause?   EVOLUTION  
🗑
What does inbreeding cause?   recessive alleles-->lethal genetic diseases  
🗑
What else does inbreeding cause with respect to frequency calculations?   Changes the genotype frequencies so they can't be calculated using P2, 2pq, q2  
🗑
Define Mutation   Change in a gene or DNA  
🗑
Can mutation cause a change in allele frequencies, and if so, how?   By changing a B to b  
🗑
What must net mutation be to evolution to occur?   NOT 0  
🗑
Can mutations at one gene cause a significant change?   NO, not significant change  
🗑
When will evolution occur?   when H-W laws are not followed  
🗑
define speciation   How 2 populations diverge and become new species  
🗑
What is the biological species concept:   Species in a group of individuals that can breed and produce fertile offsprings and they are not species if they are reproductively isolated  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of BSC? What DOESN'T follow BSC   Fossils, asexually reprodcing organisms, some organism don't interact in nature  
🗑
What is the morphological species concept?   Anatomy change, groups with different apperances are different species  
🗑
ecological species concept?   Groups with different ecology (food habitat) are different species  
🗑
How can species be reproductively isolated?   Habitat, temporal, behavioral isolation, mechanical isolation, gametic isolation  
🗑
Temporal:   Live in different areas, active in different areas  
🗑
Behavioral isolation:   Having different courtship behaviours  
🗑
Mechanical isolatioN;   mating is physically impossible  
🗑
Gametic isolation:   Fertillization is biochemically impossible  
🗑
, reduced hypbrid viability   Hybrid offspring will die; reduced change of living  
🗑
Reduced Hybrid fertility:   Sterile offspring  
🗑
What is hybrid breakdown?   First generation is OK, fertile, but second generation is sterile or DIES  
🗑
What are the two steps of speciation?   1) Seperation of population 2) Natural selection or genetic drift. Change one or both populations so that if seperation dissaperead, they would be reproductively isolated  
🗑
How are populations seperated so change in genetic drift can lead to speciation?   1) Allopatric speciation, sympatric speciation, and macroevolution  
🗑
What is allopatric speciation?   Physical seperation, population is in two different areas  
🗑
Sympatric speciation?   No physical seperation, populations can interact, could be seperated genetically (polyploidy: extra sets of chromosomes), may be seperated by mate choice  
🗑
Macroevolution:   Evolution of higher taxanomic levels (Order, phylum), accumulations of small changes  
🗑
What is hetrochromy: Give an example   Change in developmental timing APe and human skulls from babies to fully grown  
🗑
Spatial patterns can change during development, can you give an example of this?   Homestic or Hox genes control organization like bithorax--more than one rib...etc.  
🗑


   

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.
