---|---|---|---|---|---|
Genetic Drift | An evolutionary mechanism in which allele frequencies change in a population
🗑
|
||||
Recombination | Another source of heritable variation that occurs for two main reasons: independent assortment and crossing-over.
🗑
|
||||
Gene Flow | When the genes of one population flow to a different population.
🗑
|
||||
Fossils | What are preserved traces or remains of living organisms for the past
🗑
|
||||
Vestigial Structures | Structures on an organism are degenerated and, or are nonfunctional structures
🗑
|
||||
Homologous Structures | Structures that are similar in related organisms which were inherited from a common ancestor
🗑
|
||||
Analogous Structures | Structure that is the same in function but different in structure, and evolved independently
🗑
|
||||
Molecular Homologies | Evidence of evolution that has similar stretch of genetic material and/or proteins between different organisms
🗑
|
||||
Biogeography | This is the study of the distribution of species, organisms, and ecosystems through geological time
🗑
|
||||
Stabilizing Selection | most common form of natural selection in which organisms with extreme expressions of a trait are removed. Can be expressed on a graph
🗑
|
||||
Directional Selection | Shift of population toward an extreme version of a beneficial trait. Can be expressed on a graph
🗑
|
||||
Disruptive Selection | Process by which individuals with average traits are removed, creating two populations with extreme traits. Can be expressed on a graph.
🗑
|
||||
Natural Selection | Process that results in the adaptation of an organism to its environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype.
🗑
|
||||
Evolution | The process through which species change over time.
🗑
|
||||
Species | Groups of actually or potentially interbreeding populations, which are reproductively isolated from other such groups.
🗑
|
||||
Adaptation | Process by which an animal or plant species becomes fitted to its environment; it is the result of natural selection's acting upon heritable variation.
🗑
|
||||
Taxonomy | A hierarchical system for classifying and identifying organism
🗑
|
||||
Common Ancestor | The most recent ancestral form or species from which two different species evolved.
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
