| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Homologous structures | same structure different function |
| Analogous structures | same function different strucutre |
| convergent evolution | evolution towards similar characteristics of unrelated species |
| population | A species living in a specific area |
| gene flow | transfer of alleles from one population to another through migration |
| genetic drift | loss of genetic diversity in a apopulation |
| normal distribution | distribution in a population when a allele frequencies are highest near the mean value and decrease near each end |
| Directional selection | pathway of natural selection when one uncommon phenotype is selection over a common phenotype |
| stabilizing | The mean is favored even more |
| Disruptive | The mean goes down and both ends rise |
| speciation | change through evolution in one species |

| Conjugation | bacteria pass genetic materials from on to another |
| Viroids | infectious particle that cause harm to plants |
| virus | infectious particle that only contains a DNA or RNA strand inside the protein coat |
| prion | infectious particle that cause proteins to fold on top of each other "mad cow disease" |

| esophagus | trachea |
| pharynx covered with | is covered with epiglottis |
| when histamine is realeased | Inflammation. allergic reaction |
| mucous membrane | line internal body surfaces that are in contact with the environment |
| role of the helper T cell | activate 2 different types of immune system cell |
| humoral immunity | B cells produce antibodies to fight pathogens |
| cellular immunity | T cells destroy pathogens |
