Speciation and Classification of Biological Diveristy

        Help!  

Question
Answer
natural selection   environment selects for adapted characteristics; over time, the pop. changes so the traits of the more successful reproducers increase in allele frequency.  
🗑
Why is genetic diversity important to the survival of a pop.   because it provides the material for natural selection  
🗑
What is one factor to cause endanger population   reduced variation  
🗑
name the forms of selection   stabilizing selection, disruptive selection, directional selection  
🗑
stabilizing selection   eliminate both extreme phenotypes  
🗑
disruptive selection   eliminate intermediate phenotypes  
🗑
directional selection   eliminate a single extreme phenotype  
🗑
Give an example of stabilizing selection   sickle-cell allele  
🗑
give an example of heterozygote advantage   heterozygous for the sickle-cell allele have less susceptibility to malaria.  
🗑
Give an example of directional selection   Drosophila flies that flew toward light were eliminated from the pop. the remaining flies were mated and the experiment repated for 20 generation; so curve toward flies in the dark  
🗑
Give an example of disruptive selection   Large beak bird can open tough shells; small beak bird handle small seed; an intermediate would be lousy at handling big or small seeds.  
🗑
Name the 5 steps of natural selection   (just key words) 1) more offspring survive; vary in traits; variation passed on; adapt to environ; favorable alleles becomes more frequent  
🗑
definition of specie   groups that are reproductively-isolated  
🗑
speciation (macroevolution)   formation of new species  
🗑
microevolution   changes in frequency of alleles  
🗑
biological species concept   species are group of actually or potentially interbreeding natural pop, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups."  
🗑
reproductively isolated pop.   pop. whose members do not mate with each other or who cannotproduce fertile offspring  
🗑
Two-part process speciation   1) identical pop. must diverge; 2) reproductive isolation must evolve to maintain these differences  
🗑
reasons that pop. become isolate   new colonization (bird blown away to different island); barriers (mountain); extinction of intermediate pop (sunflower in different places)  
🗑
Prezygotic isolating mechanisms   geographic isolation; ecological isolation  
🗑
geographic isolation   species occur in different areas, which are often separated by a barrier like river mountain  
🗑
ecological isolation   species occur in same area but they occupy different habitats. Survival of hybrids is low because they are not adapted to either environment of their parents.  
🗑
temporal isolation   species reproduce in different seasons or at different times of the day  
🗑
behavioral isolation   species differ in their mating rituals  
🗑
mechanical isolation   structual differences between species prevent mating  
🗑
prevention of gamete fusion   gametes of one species function poorly species or within the reproductive tract of another species.  
🗑
hybrid inviabile   hybridzation between sheep and goats produces embroys that die in the early stages  
🗑
hybrids subvital   wouldn't survive in the wild  
🗑
hybrids sterile, give example   reduced fertility - hybridization betwn horse and donkey produce sterile mules  
🗑
Instantaneous speciation may occur how?   through polyploidy  
🗑
explain speciation through polyploidy   Failure in meiosis produce diploid gametes; not viable w/parent haploid gametes; self-fertilization produce a fertile tetraploid zygote, a new species.  
🗑
True or false: a new species may arise without geographic isolation   true  
🗑
Give an example of a polypoid plant   wheat  
🗑
Why does bacteria evolve faster than eukaryotes?   20 min. generation time; large pop. w/lots of genetic diversity; get genes via horizontal transfer  
🗑
The excessive use of antibiotics is leading to the evolution of what?   antibiotic-resistant bacteria  
🗑
What is taxonomy   the branc of biology that identifies and name organisms  
🗑
Name the hierarchical system   Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species  
🗑
what is phylogeny?   the evolutionary history of species  
🗑
3 domain system   bacteria, archaea, eukarya  
🗑
Name the kingdom of eukarya   protista, fungi, plantae, animalia  
🗑
What is archaea cloesly related to?   eukarya  
🗑
Phylogenetic tree   models base on homology  
🗑
homology   shared characteristics that have been inherited from a common ancestor  
🗑
What is a phylogenetic tree of animals based on?   embryonic development and anatomical structures  
🗑


   

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.
