| whats the definition of evolution? | change in the gene frequency of a population over time |
| what is the time requirement for evolution? | TRICK QUEST GOT YA - no time required, theres micro and macro evolution so it can take awhile or not - also such thing as rapid evolution |
| what are the 5 big ol mechanisms of evo? | mutation, gene flow, natty selection, genetic drift, non-random mating |
| what are the 4 categories for natty selection? | variation, heritability, competition, differential reproductive success |
| tell me about adaptation | a trait for the behavior, morphology, or physiology of an organism that enables it to better survive/ reproduce in a particular environment - ALWAYS increases reproductive success |
| what are the 8 lines of evidence for evolution? | |
| what is the mechanism of adaptive evolution? | |
| what is a r strategist? | it has many offspring, takes a short time to reproduce, resulting in rapid evolution |
| what is a k strategist? | it has few offspring, takes awhile to reproduce, resulting in slow evolution |
| how does adaptation relate to the 4 categories for natural selection? | adaptation is a trait that increases reproductive success - natural selection is the process in which this adaptation/ trait does so |
| what are the 2 necessary components of reproductive success? | you have to survive AND reproduce |
| is an adaptation a change? | no it is a trait |

| what is the difference between natty selection and evolution? | natural selection is a mechanism of evolution |
| what type of evolution does natural selection lead to? | adaptive evolution |
| when was catastrophism bumpin? | pre-1830s |
| when was uniformitarianism bumpin? | after 1830s |
