Question
Answer
artificial selecton   the selective breeding of organisms selected for certain traits in order to produce offspring having those traits  
🗑
theory of evolution   excess reproduction,variations,inheritance,and the advantages of specific traits in an environment  
🗑
evolution   hereditary changes in groups of living things over time  
🗑
derived traits   new featurs that had not appeared in common ancestors  
🗑
ancestral traits   more primitive characteristics that appeared in common ancestors  
🗑
homologous sturctures   anatomically similiar structures inherited from a common ancestor  
🗑
vestigial structures   reduced forms of functional structures that shared ancestry  
🗑
analogous structures   structures that have the same functions but diff. construction and was not inherited from a common ancestor  
🗑
embryo   organsims early prebirth stage of development  
🗑
biogeography   study of the distribution of plant and animals on earth  
🗑
fitness   measure of a trait's relative contribution to the following generation  
🗑
mimicry   morphological adaptation in which one species evolves to resemble another species for protection or other advantages.  
🗑
hardy weinburg principle   when allelic freq. remain constant  
🗑
genetic drift   any change in allelic freq. in a population that result from chance  
🗑
founder effect   when a small sample of a population settles in a location seperated from the rest of the population  
🗑
bottleneck effect   when a population declines to a very low number and then rebounds.  
🗑
stabalizing selection   the most common form of natural selection. it operates to eliminate extreme expressions of a trait whe the avg. exp. leads to higher fitness.  
🗑
directional selection   a form of selection increases the exp. of the extreme versions of a trait in a population.  
🗑
disruptive selection   a process that splits a population into two groups  
🗑
sexual selection   another type of natural selection in which change in frequency of a trait is based on the ability to attract a mate.  
🗑
allopatric speciatioin   a physical barrier divides one population into two or more populations  
🗑
sympatric speciation   a species evolves into a new species with pout a physical barrier  
🗑
adaptive radiation   can occur in a relatively short time when on species response to the creation of a new habitat or another ecological oppritunity  
🗑
gradualism   traits might remain unchanged for millions of years or the idea that evolution proceeds in small gradual steps  
🗑
punctuated equilibrium   abrupt transitions in the fossil record  
🗑


   

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.
