Question
Answer
T/F Mendel's work on inheritance was published after Darwin's lifetime.   show
🗑
show He did not know the source of the variation that was so central to his theory. He could not explain how inheritable traits were passed from one generation to the next  
🗑
show 1genetics 2molecular biology 3evolutionary theory  
🗑
show population  
🗑
show gene pool  
🗑
T/F The gene pool typically contains just one allele for each inheritable trait   show
🗑
The number of timmes that an allele occurs in a gene pool compared with the number of times other alleles occur is called the __________ of the allele.   show
🗑
show 1Mutations 2Genetic Shuffling  
🗑
What is a mutation?   show
🗑
Why do mutations occur?   show
🗑
show true  
🗑
T/F Mutations always affect lengthy segments of a chromosome   show
🗑
T/F Mutations always affect an organisms phenotype   show
🗑
T/F Mutations always affect an organisms fitness   show
🗑
T/F Most inheritable differences are due to gene shuffling that occurs during the production of gametes   show
🗑
show true  
🗑
show true  
🗑
show true  
🗑
T/F Sexual reproduction can change the relative frequency of alleles in a population   show
🗑
T/F The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
T/F Natural selection on single-gene traits cannot lead to changes in allele frequencies   show
🗑
show It would disappear from the gene pool completely or fewer copies of an allele would be passed down to future generations  
🗑
If a trait had no effect on an organisms fitness, what would happen to the alelle for that trait?   show
🗑
show 1Directional selection 2Stabilizing Selection 3Disruptive Selection  
🗑
What is directional selection?   show
🗑
show Individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end  
🗑
show Individuals at the upper and lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle  
🗑
An increase in the average size of beaks in Galapagos finches is an example of ________ selection   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
T/F Natural selection is the only source of evolutionary change   show
🗑
Random change in allele frequencies in small populations is called ________   show
🗑
show founder effect  
🗑
What is an example of the founder effect?   show
🗑
show Allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change  
🗑
show genetic equilibrium  
🗑
5 Conditions req to maintain genetic equilibrium   show
🗑
Why is large population size important in maintaining genetic equilibrium   show
🗑
show The formation of new species  
🗑
show false  
🗑
What does it mean for 2 species to be reproductively isolated from each other?   show
🗑
What must happen in order for new species to evolve?   show
🗑
show 1behavioral 2geographic 3temporal  
🗑
show 2 populations are capable of interbreeding but have dif. in courtship rituals or other types of behavior  
🗑
show true  
🗑
show 2 populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or bodies of water  
🗑
Abert and Kaibab squirrels in the SW are an ex. of ___________ isolation   show
🗑
T/F Geographic barriers guarantee the formation of new species   show
🗑
What is an example of temporal isolation?   show
🗑
T/F The basic mechanisms of evolutionary change cannot be observed in nature   show
🗑
show true/false  
🗑
Hyp tested by Grants: T/F Differences in the finches' beak size/shape produce dif in fitness that cause nat selection, The evolution of finches is proceeding slow/gradually   show
🗑
Observ. by Grants: T/F Dif. in beak size=more imp. for survival during wet season, When food for finches was scarce, individuals with the largest beaks were less likely to survie   show
🗑
Observ by Grants: T/F Big beaked birds tend to mate w/ small beaked birds, Average size beak increased dramatically   show
🗑
Speciation probably occurred in Galapagos finches   show
🗑


   

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.
