| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| define evolution | change in population over time |
| differenciate between natural, sexual, and artifical selection in terms of how the drive change in a population over time | natural: changes in a environment drive change in a population overtime sexual: mating preferences by one of the sexes drive change in pop over time artifical: humans breed organisms wirh desirable traits to increase frequency in population |
| utilize the tenets of evolution by natural selection to explain changes in apopulation over time (VISTA) (only V-S) | variation: reproduction results in genotypic variations Inheritance: evolution only works on traits passed down between gens Struggle for existence: enviormental pressures exists - survival: better adapted organisms survive and reproducei |
| explain how fossils, anatomy, molecular, and embryoloigcal evidence (FAME) support the theory of evoulation by natural selection (F-A) | Fossil: trilobites are some of the oldest fossils Anatomical structures: comparative anatomy (homologous, vestigial, analogous |
| indenitfy FAME evidence as the strongest pieces of data to support evolution by natural selection | Homologous structures Vestigial structures Analogous structures |
| utilize the tenets of evolution by natural selection to explain changes in apopulation over time (VISTA) (only T-A) | Time: over gens trait becomes more common, since the organisms survive and reproduce Adapatation: trait is now common in population |
| explain how fossils, anatomy, molecular, and embryoloigcal evidence (FAME) support the theory of evoulation by natural selection (M-E) | Molecular Biology (DNA or AA): Dna sequence, amino acid sequence, and protein st5ructure similaritie. (best evidence, share common ancestry) Embryology: developmental similarities can be explained by common ancestry |
