Question
Answer
Evolutionary order of plants   bryophytes -> gymnosperms -> angiosperms  
🗑
adaptive radiation   divergent evolution  
🗑
allopatric speciation   forming of a new species through the geographic isolation of groups from the parent population (alla-geo)  
🗑
Homologous Structures   same evolutionary origin; same basic anatomical feature; ex wings of bat, flipper of whale, forelegs of horses, arms of man  
🗑
Analogous Structures   DIFFERENT origins; have similar functions w/ different patterns of development; wings of fly and wings of bird  
🗑
Comparative Embryology   stages of development of embryo resemble stages in an organism’s evolutionary history; human embryo passes through stages that demonstrate common ancestry – 2 layer gastrula of hydra (cnidaria) and 3 layer gastrula similar to flatworm  
🗑
Vestigial Structures   structures that appear to be useless but had ancestral function; ex humans (appendix and tail), horses (splints), python (legs reduced to bones)  
🗑
Mullerian mimicry -   two or more harmful species that are not closely related, and share one or more common predators, have come to mimic each other's warning signals  
🗑
Batesian mimicry   deceptive; harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a common predator  
🗑
Lamarckian Evolution   he was wrong; amount of change based on “use and disuse” of the organ; “inheritance of acquired characteristics” (useful characteristic of one generation was transmitted to the next)  
🗑
Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection   pressures in the environment select for the organism most fit to survive and reproduce ‑Chance variations b/c mutation and recombination ‑If the variation so the more “fit” more likely to survive and reproduce  
🗑
Gene Pool   all the alleles for any given trait in the population  
🗑
Hardy Weinberg Principal   evolution can be viewed as changing gene frequencies within a population; when gene frequency NOT changing => gene pool stable => NO evolution;  
🗑
ideal hardy weinberg situations   1. Population is very LARGE – (no change in allele frequency – random drift) 2. NO mutations that affect gene pool 3. Random mating 4. NO net migration in/ out of population 5. NO natural selection  
🗑
Hardy-Weinberg equation   p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p2 = frequency of TT // 2pq = frequency of Tt // q2 = frequency of tt  
🗑
K-selected population   members have low reproductive rates and are roughly constant in size (ex. human population)  
🗑
R – selected population   rapid growth, numerous offspring, fast maturation, little postnatal care (ex. bacteria)  
🗑
Stanley L. Miller   demonstrated that the application of uv, heat, or a combination of these to a mix of methane, hydrogen, ammonia, and water could result in complex organic compounds; primordial soup  
🗑
early atmosphere   CH4, NH3, H2, H2S, H2O.  
🗑


   

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.
