BIO 182 EXAM 1 EXAM WITH CORRECT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2025
Macroevolution - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Evolutionary change above the
species level.
Ecological species concept - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>identifies species in terms
of their ecological niches, focusing on unique adaptations to particular roles in a
biological community
Postzygotic - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Barriers that prevent the hybrid zygote
from becoming a fertile adult.
The theory of gradualism - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Profound geological
changes took place through the cumulative effect of slow but continuous processes
identical to those currently operating
,Prezyogotic - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Reproductive isolation
Artificial selection - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Breeding organisms with specific
traits in order to produce offspring with identical traits.
Microevolution - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Change in allele frequencies in a
population over generations.
Biological species concept - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Definition of a species as a
population or group of populations whose members have the potential to
interbreed in nature and produce viable, fertile offspring, but are not able to
produce viable, fertile offspring with members of other populations.
Population - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>A local group of organisms belonging to
the same species and capable of interbreeding
According to evolutionary theory, the smallest entity that can evolve is
*evolve over time
, Quantitative - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Characters (such as height) are those
that vary along a continuum within a population.
Homologous - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Structures in different species that are
similar because of common ancestry.
Gene flow - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Movement of alleles into or out of a
population due to the migration of individuals to or from the population
Stabilizing - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Natural selection that favors intermediate
variants by acting against extreme phenotypes
Disruptive Selection - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>form of natural selection in
which a single curve splits into two; occurs when individuals at the upper and lower
ends of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle
Prokaryotic - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Single celled organism
Gradualism - CORRECT-ANSWERS>>>>>>Occurrence over a period of time
