DAT ch 16
bio- evolution from coursesaver notes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Evolutionary order of plants | bryophytes -> gymnosperms -> angiosperms |
| adaptive radiation | divergent evolution |
| allopatric speciation | forming of a new species through the geographic isolation of groups from the parent population (alla-geo) |
| Homologous Structures | same evolutionary origin; same basic anatomical feature; ex wings of bat, flipper of whale, forelegs of horses, arms of man |
| Analogous Structures | DIFFERENT origins; have similar functions w/ different patterns of development; wings of fly and wings of bird |
| Comparative Embryology | stages of development of embryo resemble stages in an organism’s evolutionary history; human embryo passes through stages that demonstrate common ancestry – 2 layer gastrula of hydra (cnidaria) and 3 layer gastrula similar to flatworm |
| Vestigial Structures | structures that appear to be useless but had ancestral function; ex humans (appendix and tail), horses (splints), python (legs reduced to bones) |
| Mullerian mimicry - | two or more harmful species that are not closely related, and share one or more common predators, have come to mimic each other's warning signals |
| Batesian mimicry | deceptive; harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a common predator |
| Lamarckian Evolution | he was wrong; amount of change based on “use and disuse” of the organ; “inheritance of acquired characteristics” (useful characteristic of one generation was transmitted to the next) |
| Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection | pressures in the environment select for the organism most fit to survive and reproduce ‑Chance variations b/c mutation and recombination ‑If the variation so the more “fit” more likely to survive and reproduce |
| Gene Pool | all the alleles for any given trait in the population |
| Hardy Weinberg Principal | evolution can be viewed as changing gene frequencies within a population; when gene frequency NOT changing => gene pool stable => NO evolution; |
| ideal hardy weinberg situations | 1. Population is very LARGE – (no change in allele frequency – random drift) 2. NO mutations that affect gene pool 3. Random mating 4. NO net migration in/ out of population 5. NO natural selection |
| Hardy-Weinberg equation | p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 p2 = frequency of TT // 2pq = frequency of Tt // q2 = frequency of tt |
| K-selected population | members have low reproductive rates and are roughly constant in size (ex. human population) |
| R – selected population | rapid growth, numerous offspring, fast maturation, little postnatal care (ex. bacteria) |
| Stanley L. Miller | demonstrated that the application of uv, heat, or a combination of these to a mix of methane, hydrogen, ammonia, and water could result in complex organic compounds; primordial soup |
| early atmosphere | CH4, NH3, H2, H2S, H2O. |
