BIOL 1P92 Midterm Exam Questions With Correct
Answers
evolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-heritable |change |in |one |or |more |characteristics |of |a |
population |or |species |from |one |generation |to |the |next
microevolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-changes |in |a |single |gene |in |a |population |overtime
macroevolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-formation |of |new |species |or |group |of |species
species |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-group |of |related |organisms |that |share |a |distinctive |form
population |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-members |of |the |same |species |that |are |likely |to |encounter
|each |other |and |thus |have |the |opportunity |to |interbreed
Malthusian |Theory |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Starvation |is |the |inevitable |result |of |population |
growth, |because |the |population |increases |at |a |geometric |rate |while |food |supply |can |only |
increase |arithmetically
Evidence |of |Evolutionary |Change |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-fossil |record, |biogeography, |
convergent |evolution, |selective |breeding, |homologies
transitional |forms |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-provides |link |between |earlier |and |later |forms
Biogeography |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-study |of |the |geographical |distribution |of |extinct |and |
modern |species
, convergent |evolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-two |different |species |from |different |lineages |
show |similar |characteristics |because |they |occupy |similar |environments
selective |breeding |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-programs |and |procedures |designed |to |modify |
traits |in |domesticated |species
Homology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-fundamental |similarity |due |to |descent |from |a |common |
ancestor
Three |types |of |homology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-anatomical, |developmental, |molecular
anatomical |homology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-same |set |of |bones |in |the |limbs |of |modern |
vertebrates |has |undergone |evolutionary |change |for |many |different |purposes
developmental |homology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Species |that |differ |as |adults |often |bear |
striking |similarities |during |embryonic |stages
molecular |homology |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-similarities |in |cells |at |the |molecular |level |show |
that |living |species |evolved |from |a |common |ancestor
homologous |genes |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-two |genes |derived |from |the |same |ancestral |gene
Globin |genes |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Allows |for |specialized |function, |expression |at |different |
times |or |in |different |tissues
horizontal |gene |transfer |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-exchange |of |genetic |material |among |
different |species
population |genetics |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-study |of |genes |and |genotypes |in |a |population
