Question
Answer
What is Natural Selection   The survival of the organisms best ADAPTED to their surroundings. Best adapted survive and reproduce.  
🗑
What is a SPECIES   A group of organisms that look similar and can reproduce resulting in FERTILE offspring  
🗑
Name 3 Isolating Mechanisms   Geographical & Ecological & Behavioural Isolation  
🗑
Give an example of Behavioural Isolation   Different breeding seasons OR Different Courtship behaviour, different mating song  
🗑
Give an example of Geographic Isolation   Rivers OR Seas OR Mountains OR Deserts separating sub-populations  
🗑
Give an example of Ecological Isolation   Sub-populations live in different habitats within an ecosystem and don’t mix OR one sub-population is tolerant to an Abiotic factor the other sub-population can’t tolerate and so they do not mix  
🗑
What is a Niche   The role an organism plays within an Ecosystem  
🗑
What process has led to Antibiotic resistance due to over prescription   Natural Selection  
🗑
What caused the Melanic form of the Peppered Moth to appear   Mutation  
🗑
What process makes it unlikely for the Melanic Peppered Moth to be found in the country side   Natural Selection  
🗑
What characteristic of Bacteria behaviour results in a high mutation rate   High reproduction rate  
🗑
What are the stages in speciation?   Isolation-->Sub populations-->mutations in each sub-pop-->natural selection in each sub-pop-->different selective pressurs in each sub-pop--> reintroduce each sub-pop and infertile offspring =speciation  
🗑
What is the only sourde of new alleles?   Mutations  
🗑
What environmental factors cause mutations   Radiation and some Chemicals  
🗑
