| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Evolution | change in allele frequency of a population overt time |
| adaption | an inherited gene that produces a trait beneficial to an individuals fitness |
| fitness | the ability to survive and reproduce |
| allele frequency | how often a allele variation appears in a population % |
| behavioral isolation | reproductive isolation by courtship |
| temporal isolation | reproductive isolation by time |
| geographical isolation | reproductive isolation by physical barrier |
| stabilizing isolation | average phenotype has best fitness |
| disruptive isolation | two "extreme" phenotype has best fitness |
| directional isolation | one "extreme" phenotype has best fitness |
| genetic equilibrium | no change in allele frequency over time |
| homologous structure | a structure inherited from a common ancestor |
| analogous structure | a structure NOT from a common ancestor, but adaption developed independently |
| vestigal structure | a structure inherited from a common ancestor with reduced or no function |
| speculation | formation of a new species |
