Natural Selection

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Lamarck   suggested that organisms evolved by the process of adaption  
🗑
What did Darwin observed in the finch species?   they differed in beaks and feeding habitats. He believed it was evolution  
🗑
What did Darwin observed?   organism produce more offspring than the environment can support; they vary in many characteristics; these variations can be inherited  
🗑
What did Darwin concluded?   individual best suited for an environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than those less adapted; indiv. w/favorable characteristics increases; pop. gradually change to environment  
🗑
What year did Darwin publish Origin of Species   1859  
🗑
Natural Selection - define it   the differential reproduction of genotypes caused by factors in the environ. leads to change through time = evolution  
🗑
Step 1 in natural selection   individual produce more offspring than can survive, resources are limited  
🗑
Step 2 in natural selection   individual vary in many traits (random mutation leads to genetic variability)  
🗑
Step 3 in natural selection   variation is often passed to offspring  
🗑
Step 4 in natural selection   individ. w/traits that are more suited (adpated) to their environ. are more successful at passing their traits on to next generation  
🗑
Step 5 in natural selection   over time, favorable alleles become more frequent & disadvantage alleles become less frequent  
🗑
What is artificial selection   when human chose organisms with specific characteristics as breeding stock, they are performing the role of the environ.  
🗑
Example of artificial selection   five veggies derived from wild mustard  
🗑
Two main reason why evoltuion is important   1) evolution of insecticide resistance 2) pesticide resistance  
🗑
How do insects become more resistant to pesticides?   Pop. have genetic variation 2) environ. change and kill the ones not having that mutation 3) insects become more resistant  
🗑
Which evolve quicker, bacteria or eukaryotes?   bacteria (20 min. generation time)  
🗑
Why can bacteria evolve so fast?   huge pop. w/lots of genetic diversity, get genes via horizontal transfer (plasmids w/ Multiple Drug Resistance)  
🗑
How do we get antibiotic resistance in bacteria?   by using more antibiotic (we wipe out the bacteria w/out plasmid and the plasmid one is left and that divides)  
🗑
What can we do to decrease bacteria   wash hands, stay home when we're stick; take full course of antibiotic; antiobiotic do not cure viral infection  
🗑


   

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.
