Question
Answer
Large scale evolutionary changes that take place over long periods of time   show
🗑
show 1Mass extinctions 2Adaptive Radiation 3Convergent evolution 4Coevolution 5Punctuated equilibrium 6Changes in developmental genes  
🗑
show Huge asteroid caused the cretaceous extinction, large volcanoes, continents changing position, sea levels changing  
🗑
What effects have mass extinction had on the history of life?   show
🗑
show adaptive radiation  
🗑
show disappearance of dinosaurs  
🗑
Process by which unrelated organisms come to resemble one another   show
🗑
Ex. of convergent evolution   show
🗑
show coevolution  
🗑
show A number of plants have evolved poisonous compounds that prevent insects from feeding on them. Once plants begin to produce poison, natural selection in herbivorous insects began to favor any variants that could alter, inactivate, or eliminate those poiso  
🗑
Idea that evolution occurs at a slow, steady rate   show
🗑
show Small population becomes isolated from main part of population, small group of organisms migrates to new environment, to fill available niches  
🗑
show punctuated equilibrium  
🗑
T/F Evolution has often proceeded at different rates for different organisms   show
🗑
show Homologous hox genes establish body plans in animals as different as insects and humans. Major evolutionary changes may be based on hox genes.  
🗑
Why do biologists use a classifications system to study the diversity of life?   show
🗑
Science of classifying organisms and assigning them universally accepted names   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
show common names vary among languages and even among regions within a single country  
🗑
show false  
🗑
T/F Early efforts of naming organisms: Often described detailed physical characteristics of a species   show
🗑
T/F Early efforts of naming organisms: could be very long   show
🗑
T/F Early efforts of naming organisms: It was difficult to standardize the names   show
🗑
2-word naming system developed by Linnaeus   show
🗑
T/F Binomial nomenclature is no longer in use today   show
🗑
show true  
🗑
T/F Scientific names are always in italics   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
Genus of Ursus arctos?   show
🗑
show taxon  
🗑
show kingdom, species  
🗑
2 kingdoms Linnaeus named?   show
🗑
Taxonomic categories   show
🗑
show structures of dif organisms and details of anatomy  
🗑
show Organisms that are quite dif from eachother evolve similar body structures  
🗑
T/F Darwins thoery of evolution changed the way biologists thought about classification   show
🗑
show Biologists now group organisms into categories that represent lines of evolutionary descent, not just physical similarities  
🗑
show false  
🗑
show evolutionary classification  
🗑
Cladistic analysis   show
🗑
Characteristics that appear in recent parts of lineage, but not in older members   show
🗑
show cladogram  
🗑
T/F Derived characters are used to construct a cladogram   show
🗑
show false  
🗑
How do similarities in genes show that humans and yeast shar a common ancestry?   show
🗑
show molecular clock  
🗑
show mutation  
🗑
Why are only neutral mutations useful for molecular clocks?   show
🗑
T/F Degree of dissimilarity in DNA sequences is an indiciation of how long ago two species shared a common ancestor.   show
🗑
show some genes accumulate mutations faster than some others  
🗑
T/F Scientific view of life = more complex in Linnaeus' time   show
🗑
What fundamental traits did Linnaeus use to separate plants from animals?   show
🗑
What type of organisms were later place in the kingdom Protista?   show
🗑
show fungi  
🗑
Why did scientists place bacteria in their own kingdom, the Monera?   show
🗑
2 groups into which monera have been separated?   show
🗑
6 kingdoms   show
🗑
show domain  
🗑

🗑
3 domains   show
🗑

Protista   show
🗑
show cell walls of chitin  
🗑
plantae   show
🗑
