ECOL 182R Exam #1
Adaptations - ANS-Features that make an organism higher applicable to stay and reproduce
in its surroundings
Adaptive radiation - ANS-The diversification of a collection of organisms into forms filling
extraordinary ecological niches. Occurs after mass extinction
Alleles - ANS-Different forms of a gene
Allopatric Speciation - ANS-Gene waft is interrupted with the aid of physical separation of
populations main to differentiation
Archaea - ANS-One of two prokaryotic domain names, the other being Bacteria
Artificial choice - ANS-A process wherein people consciously pick out for or towards
particular functions in organisms
Bacteria - ANS-Single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus; prokaryotes
Biological evolution - ANS-Inherited change in the properties of populations of organisms
over the route of generations
Biology - ANS-The study of lifestyles
Biosphere - ANS-Consists of all existence on Earth and all elements of the Earth in which life
exists, including land, water, and the surroundings.
Carotenoids - ANS-Protects tissues and immune device. Gives birds brilliant pigmented
feathers and better health
Cell - ANS-Life's fundamental unit of shape and function
Coevolution - ANS-Changes in at the least species' genetic compositions reciprocally have
an effect on every different's evolution
Community - ANS-All the organisms that inhabit a particular location
Continental Drift - ANS-Gradual motion of the continents through geological time
Convergent evolution - ANS-The evolution of similar features in impartial evolutionary
lineages
