Classification, variation and speciation

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What does Hardy-Weinberg rely on   No mutations, no movement of gene pool, no naturel selction, large population, random mating  
🗑
What is the Hardy-Weinberg equation?   q2 + 2pq + q2 = 1  
🗑
What does naturel selection result from?   Differant fertility of organisms  
🗑
What is the theory of naturel selction?   That allele frequency will increase for the most successful gene, as they will breed mor successfully  
🗑
What is directional selction?   Movement of population towards diferant characteristic due to selective pressure  
🗑
What causes directional selection?   Environmental change  
🗑
What is stabalising selction?   The removal of the extremes of a gene, leaving the moderates  
🗑
What causes stablising selection?   it occurs naturelly in all organisms  
🗑
What is disruptive selction?   Removal of moderates to leave the extremes  
🗑
What causes disruptive selection?   Large environmental changes  
🗑
What is speciation?   Formation of 2 species from one  
🗑
What are the two types of speciation?   Allopatric and sympatric  
🗑
What are the differances between the two types of speciation?   Allopatric caused by geograpical sepaation, symapatric occurs within the same environment  
🗑
Why can sympatric speciation occur?   Mechanical isolation, gamates prevented from meeting, no fusion of gamates, hybrid inviability, hybrid sterility, behavioural isolation  
🗑
What is mechanical isolation?   Incompatabilty of genetalia, leads to sympatric speciation  
🗑
What is hybrid inviabiity?   Failure of the embryo to develop, leads to sympatric speciation  
🗑
What is hybrid sterility?   Inability of chromosomes to pair, leads to sypatric speciation  
🗑
What happens when you move from species to kingdom?   Number of organisms increases  
🗑
What happens when you move from kingdom to species?   Number of simularities increases  
🗑
What are the 5 kingdoms?   Prokaryote, Protoctista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia  
🗑
Which kingdoms contain prokaryotic cells?   Prokaryotes  
🗑
Which kindoms contain eukaryotic cells?   Protoctista, fungi, plantae, animalia  
🗑
Do prokaryotes have a cell wall?   Yes  
🗑
Do Protoctista have a cell wall?   Some  
🗑
Do Fungi have a cell wall?   Yes  
🗑
Do Plantae have a cell wall?   Yes  
🗑
Do animalia have a cell wall?   No  
🗑


   

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.
