BMZ Lesson 1: Introduction to Evolution

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Evolution   heritage change in one or more characteristics of a population from one generation to the next. things change through time, natual selection, genetic variation,  
🗑
Microevolution   evolution on a smaller scale, relating to changes in a single gene or allele frequencies in a population over time.  
🗑
Macroevolution   larger scale evolution in relation to the formation of new species or groups of related species.  
🗑
Discovery based science   collection and analysis of data without the need for a preconceived hypothesis. Often leads to hypothesis testing.  
🗑
Hypothesis Testing   creation of a hypothesis, testing, analyzing data, accept or reject hypothesis  
🗑
Theory   Developed through extensive testing and large amounts of data consistency with a vast amount of known data ability to make a correct prediction  
🗑
Charles Darwin (1809-1882)   played key role in developing the theory of evolution.  
🗑
Natural Selection   ACTS ON THE INDIVIDUAL  
🗑
EVOLUTION   ACTS ON THE POPULATION  
🗑
Homologous Structures   same components, common ancestor  
🗑
Convergent Evolution   Do NOT share a common ancestor but look alike  
🗑
Analogous   Similar environmental pressure, NOT COMMON ANCESTOR  
🗑
Natural Selection   Requires Variation, Inheritable, one has to reproduce faster than other.  
🗑
Lamark (1800)   You lose an arm, so does your offspring! AH!  
🗑
Alleles   variant forms of a particular gene  
🗑
Vestigial Structures   anatomical features that have no current function but resemble structures of their presumed ancestors.  
🗑
homologous genes   two or more genes are derived from the same ancestral gene  
🗑
phenotype   observable characteristic  
🗑
genotype   hereditary information, genetic make up  
🗑
Ultimate source of all genetic variation   mutation  
🗑
Gene Pools   complete set of unique alleles in a species or population  
🗑
Hardy Weinberg Theorem   5 Conditions: 1. NOT evolve, should be infinitely large 2. random mating 3.no selection 4. no mutations 5. no migrations  
🗑
Founder Effect   In population genetics, the founder effect is the loss of genetic variation that occurs when a new population is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population.  
🗑
Bottleneck Effect   is an evolutionary event in which a significant percentage of a population or species is killed or otherwise prevented from reproducing  
🗑
Types of Natural Selection   1. Directional 2. Disruptive 3. Stabilizing 4. Balancing  
🗑
Sexual Selection   competition in terms of who is the better breader  
🗑
1859   pubilshing darwins book about species  
🗑
Reproductive Isolation   prevents one species from breeding with another  
🗑
Prezygotic reproduction   habitat isolation temporal isolation (reproducing at different times of the year) behavioral isolation mechanical isolation (size prevention) gametic isolation  
🗑
postzygotic reproduction   hybrid viability (offspring die) hybrid fertility (output is low or 0) Hybrid Breakdown (works for one generation but then not others)  
🗑
gradualism   changes occur slowly in the form of gradual steps  
🗑
punctuated equilibrium   theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most sexually reproducing species will experience little evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis  
🗑
anagenesis   the evolution of species involving an entire population rather than a branching even  
🗑
cladogenesis   Cladogenesis is the process by which species split into two distinct species,  
🗑
allopatric speciation   seperated, possibly my geographical reasons, and thus creates two new species  
🗑
sympatric speciation   ranges overlap but still not together  
🗑


   

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.
