QUIZ evolution/class

study stack for evolution classification quiz

QuestionAnswer
mutation Change in DNA most responsible for variation in a species
genetic drift When genes in very small population are lost, because the population is to small to mate enough to keep all the genes
Classification system way of organizing organism constantly changing as new technology develops to let us better understand evolutionary history of organisms
antibiotic resistance over use of pesticides and antibiotics has caused only organism that can no longer be killed by the pesticides and antibiotic to mate and now they make up the largest part of the population.
scientific name genus and species of an organism (binomial nomleclature)
Natural selection individuals with favorable traits will survive and make up most of the population

carbon cycle part of photosynthesis Where plants use Carbon dioxide to make glucose.
homologous structures similar structures in different organisms that show they share a common ancestor. Example arm in humans and wings of bats have the same types of bones
prokaryote cell without a nucleus or membrane organelle do contain ribosomes,ex bacteria cells
plant cell Eukaryotic, cell wall, chloroplast and large vacuole
Eukaryote cell with a nucleus and membrane bound organelle, most plant and animal cells
Nucleus part of the cells that stores the genetic information
early earths atmosphere Contained carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen and water vapor. NO FREE OXYGEN
