|---|---|
| What are the requirements for primary literature? There are 2. | 1. The researchers publish original work 2. Peer reviewed |
| What is APA citation format? | Last Name, First initial. Year. Title of article. Publication name, Issue #:pages. |
| What is the equation for Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium? | p^2+2pq+q^2=1 |
| What are the two types of genetic drift | Bottleneck and founder event. |
| What are the five assumptions of HWE? | 1. Large population size 2. No gene flow 3. No mutations 4. Random mating 5. No natural selection |
| What are the steps to determining time since divergence? | 1. Add up the total lengths of branches 2. Multiply by number of amino acids 3. Input into the formula 4. Multiply by 21 Ma |
| What is species richness? | The number of organisms you find in a study area |
| What is species diversity? | The evenness of the organisms in the study area |
| What is a keystone species? | A species that plays in a critical role in maintaining community structure |
| What are the trophic levels? List them in order going up to quaternary. | Primary producer, Primary consumer, secondary consumer, tertiary consumer, quaternary consumer. |
| What is a type 1 survivorship curve? | Few individuals but high survivorship at beginning of life. |
| What is a type 2 survivorship curve? | Constant rate of mortality throughout whole life. |
| What is a type 3 survivorship curve? | Many individuals with low survivorship at beginning of life. |
| Briefly describe the alteration of generations. | Sporophyte goes through meiosis to produce spores. The sores go through mitosis to form gametophytes. Gametophytes produce gametes which form a zygote through fusion. The zygote goes through mitosis to form sporophytes to start the cycle over again. |
| Are gametophytes diploid or haploid? | Haploid |
| Are sporophytes diploid or haploid? | Diploid |
| What is convergent evolution? | Similar traits develop in organisms that evolved independently from each other. |
| What is homology? | Having similar related structures as a result of evolution. |
| What are the three types of symmetry? | Radial, bilateral, and asymmetrical |
| Name three different adaptations of trout. | Swim bladder, gill rakers, |
