Zoology Unit 1 (correct answers)
The science of naming and classifying organisms correct answers Taxonomy
Each species is different from every other kind correct answers Interspecific Diversity
Variety within a given species correct answers Intraspecific Diversity
A group of organisms that share a common gene pool correct answers Species
Animals that are reproductively incompatible, they exist in nature as entirely different
species correct answers Biological species concept
Geographical, Behavioral, Physiological, Anatomical correct answers Types of
reproductive Isolation
The balancing of internal processes so that an animal functions with a narrow range of
efficiency correct answers Homeostatis
Staying alive by reproducing correct answers Self-prepetuation
To survive long enough to reproduce to pass on survival skills to the next generation
correct answers Fitness
Those with less advantageous traits will decrease in population correct answers
Differential Reproduction
When two species compete for identical resources, one will be mroe succesful and
eventually eliminate the other correct answers Law of Competitive Exclusion
Developing a degree of harmony within a given niche correct answers Adaptation
Reproduction, Competition, Genetic Variation correct answers Three parts of Adaptation
The ability among individuals to compete correct answers Differential Survival
The reshuffling of genes during meiosis prophase I causing diversity within a gene pool
correct answers Genetic Recombination
Spontaneous, permanent changes int he genetic code correct answers Mutations
Negative mutations usually resulting in lethal death. This consists of the majority of
mutations correct answers Maladaptive mutations
Mutations that currently have a neutral effect but my later be beneficial for the organism
correct answers Lingering Mutations
, Animals who already possess the skills, techniques and stuructres needed in the new
niche correct answers Preadaptation
Mutations are nondirectional, they are not influenced. They are random. correct
answers Nondirectional
One species gives rise to a number of new species correct answers Adaptive Radiation
one species unfolds into just one new species correct answers Linear Descent
the appearance of new species through a slow, lingering, step-by-step process correct
answers Gradualism
the appearance of new species through a short spurt followed by an evolutionoary calm.
correct answers Punctuated Equilibrium
Selection of fit traits correct answers Natural Selection
structures that have lost their function correct answers Vestigial structures
similar habitats produce similar life-forms correct answers Convergent evolution
Fossils, Comparative Anatomy, Comparative Embyrology, Animal Distribution, Artifical
Selection, Direct Observation correct answers Evidence for Natural Selection includes
Inherited Differences, Great Reproductive Potential, Natural Resources Limited,
Compeititon, Better suited to niche stands a greater probability of surviving and
reproducing, New species are launched correct answers Six Pillars of Evolution
Fascination with nature correct answers Biophilia
Monera, Protista, Plantae, Animalia, Fungi correct answers What are 5 kingdoms
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species correct answers Nomenclature
breakdown
Genus species correct answers Names of organisms?
To be successful one must be specialized but specialized to a broad range of conditions
rather than just one or two. If a population becomes over generalized it lessens the
ability to compete. correct answers Speciation paradox
cells lacking distinct nucleus correct answers Prokaryotes
cells which DNA is confined within the nucleus correct answers Eukaryotes
