Density-dependent factor | a variable affected by the number of organisms in given area: Food and Water |
Producer/Consumer | P-can make own food C- relies on others for food |
Genetic Drift | the random change in allele frequency in a population Ex; Natural disasters, disease |
Gene Flow | the movement of individuals to or from a population |
Immigrants | add alleles to the population |
Emmigrants | take alleles away |
Carrying Capacity | the largest population that an environment can support |
Speciation | formation of a new and distinct species in the course of evolution |
Reproductive Isolation | the condition in which two populations of the same species do not breed with one another because of their geographic separation |
Vestigial Structure | an anatomical feature or structure that no longer has a purpose in a modern organism Ex; appendix |
Natural Selection | survival of the fittest, organisms with the best genes/traits live the longest |
Chemosynthesis | Occurs in deep ocean environments, a process to obtain food using chemical energy |
Photosynthesis | Plants make glucose/sugar using sunlight, oxygen is released |
Cellular Respiration | breaking down glucose- oxygen is required for this |
Cyanobacteria | responsible for oxygen on land |
Endosymbiosis | Relationship where one organism lives within another |
