Question
Answer
show false  
🗑
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  
🗑
A collection of individuals of the same species in a given area is a _______________   show
🗑
The combined gentic information of all members of a particular population is a ________________   show
🗑
T/F The gene pool typically contains just one allele for each inheritable trait   show
🗑
show relative frequency  
🗑
show 1Mutations 2Genetic Shuffling  
🗑
show any change in a sequence of DNA  
🗑
show because the mistakes in the replication of DNA or as a result of radiation or chemicals in the environment  
🗑
show true  
🗑
T/F Mutations always affect lengthy segments of a chromosome   show
🗑
T/F Mutations always affect an organisms phenotype   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
T/F Most inheritable differences are due to gene shuffling that occurs during the production of gametes   show
🗑
T/F Sexual reproduction is a major source of variation in many populations   show
🗑
show true  
🗑
T/F Sexual reproduction can produce many dif. genetic combinations   show
🗑
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
🗑
T/F Most traits are controlled by a single gene   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
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  
🗑
show Individuals at one end of the curve have higher fitness then individuals in the middle or at the other end  
🗑
show Individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end  
🗑
What is disruptive selection?   show
🗑
An increase in the average size of beaks in Galapagos finches is an example of ________ selection   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
show false  
🗑
Random change in allele frequencies in small populations is called ________   show
🗑
show founder effect  
🗑
What is an example of the founder effect?   show
🗑
What does the Hardy-Weinberg principle state?   show
🗑
The situation in which allele frequencies remain constant is called _________   show
🗑
5 Conditions req to maintain genetic equilibrium   show
🗑
Why is large population size important in maintaining genetic equilibrium   show
🗑
What is speciation?   show
🗑
T/F Individuals in dif species can have the same gene pool   show
🗑
What does it mean for 2 species to be reproductively isolated from each other?   show
🗑
show Populations become reproductively isolated from each other  
🗑
3 Ways reproductive isolation occurs   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show geographic  
🗑
show false  
🗑
What is an example of temporal isolation?   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
Hyp tested by Grants: T/F The finches beak size/shape -enough inheritable variation to provide raw material for nat. selection The dif. finch species are descendants of common mainland ancestor   show
🗑
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
🗑
show false/true  
🗑
show 1Founders arrive 2Separation of populations 3Changes in the gene pool 4Reproductive isolation 5Ecological competition 6Continue evolution  
🗑


   

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.
