Theory of Evolution-

QuestionAnswer
What is the movement of genes into and out of a gene pool called? gene flow
Which of the following is not a factor that causes changes in the allelic frequencies of individuals in a population? random selection
Natural processes such as speciation and gradualism provide the genetic basis for _____. evolution
Natural selection can best be defined as the _____. survival and reproduction of the organisms that are genetically best adapted to the environment
Why might the beak of the Akialoa developed this way? to reach nectar in flowers
Which of the following lines of evidence for evolution is indirect? fossils
The synthetic theory of evolution is based at least in part on: an acceptance of natural selection as a cause of evolution
"The sum total of the genetically inherited changes in the individuals who are members of a population" is a description of: evolution
Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg concluded that gene pool frequencies are: inherently stable
Which of the following statements is true of the Hardy-Weinberg equation (p² + 2pq + q²= 1)? The equation allows you to discover the genotype frequencies if you know the phenotype frequencies.
Population geneticists now usually think of evolution as being genetic changes in: populations
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium equation (p²+ 2pq + q² = 1) allows geneticists to: keep track of changes in genotype frequencies from generation to generation in a population
Population genetics and the synthetic theory of evolution were developed mostly in the _____ century. 20th
"Synthetic theory of evolution" refers to: a combination of Charles Darwin's concept of natural selection along with evolutionary theories developed in the 20th century by population geneticists and molecular biologists
Which of the following conditions can result in evolution in a population? none of the above
Which of the following statements is true? Evolution is a common occurrence in natural populations
'Which of the following is most characteristic of a dominant gene?' It masks the effects of other alleles.
Which trait is most likely governed by a single gene? Sickle-cell anemia.
If a plant that is heterozygous for tallness (Tt) is crossed with a homozygous tall plant (TT), which could not be among the offspring A tt plant.
Which of the following is not a prerequisite for natural selection's operation? An innate desire to change.
Which statement best characterizes natural selection? The slow accumulation of adaptive mutations.
Which statement is true of artificial selection? It is essentially the same process as natural selection.
What is continued artificial selection's usual effect on genetic diversity? It leads to the creation of genetically homogeneous populations.
What type of molecule had to be formed on earth in order for life to evolve? A self-replicating molecule.
Which best describes the theory of punctuated equilibrium? Species generally remain stable but this stasis is occasionally interrupted by rapid evolutionary change

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
