|---|---|---|---|
| Lysosome | break down molecules | ||
| Evolution | the change in frequency of alleles in a population | ||
| Species | defined as a group of organisms that can be successfully inbreed with one another in nature but that don't successfully interbreed with members of other such groups. | ||
| Population | defined as all of the members of a species that live in a defined geographic region at a given time. | ||
| Genotype | genetic makeup of an organism | ||
| Phenotype | observable traits of the genotype | ||
| Alleles | one of the alternative forms of a single gene which are inherited from the mother and the father | Five agents of Macroevoltion | Mutation, Gene Flow, Genetic Drift, Sexual Selection and Natural Selection |
| Gene Pool | all the alleles that exist in a population | Age of Earth | 13.7 |
| Microevolution | A change in "within" a population | Classification of Species | Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| Macroevolution | evolution that results in the formation of a new species or other large groupings of living things | Domains | Eurkaryotes,Bacteria, Archaea |
| Bottleneck | change in allele frequency due to sharp reduction in population | Kingdoms | Anamalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protist |
| Founder Effect | Small subpopulation migrates and forms a new population with only a portion of the "gene pool" | Where is the cleavage furrow found? | Telophase and Cystokinesis. |
