questions with answers |\ |\
morphological species concept - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species is a distinct group of organisms with a unique set of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
morphological characteristics (unique external form).|\ |\ |\ |\
biological species concept - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔defines a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species as one or more
|\ |\ |\ |\
population that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring but are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reproductively isolated from other groups. |\ |\ |\ |\
reproductively isolated - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔When two |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species are prevented from interbreeding
|\ |\ |\ |\
genetic heritage - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a particular set of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
genes and alleles that is typical of the species but different from
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that of all other species.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Who proposed evolution? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Charles
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Darwin
natural selection - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔an evolutionary
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
process that adapts a population to its environment.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,What does evolution not say - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Evolution
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
in NO WAY says we evolved from monkeys
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Evolution DOES NOT disprove intelligent design
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Evolution DOES NOT have a direction
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Nothing is more or less evolved
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Evolution IS NOT a choice
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Evidence for evolution - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Similarity of life
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Shared characteristics
|\ |\
• Vestigial structures
|\ |\
• Development • Distribution of similar life
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Fossil record
|\ |\
• Observation
|\
• Microevolution
|\
evolutionary tree - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔illustrates the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evolutionary history of groups of organisms. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
phylogenetics - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔goal is to construct |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evolutionary trees that illustrate the patterns of |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species evolution. |\
shared derived traits - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔evolutionary
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
novelties shared by an ancestor and its descendants but not seen
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
in groups that are not direct descendants of that ancestor
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
,homologous traits - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔are features that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
organisms share |\
because they have inherited them from a common ancestor.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
vestigial organs - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔organ that serves no
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
useful function in an organism
|\ |\ |\ |\
plate tectonics - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The slow movement of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the continents over time relative to one another
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Microevolution - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is a small change in a |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species
• Not developing new species
|\ |\ |\ |\
bottleneck effect - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A change in allele
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
frequency following a dramatic reduction in the size of a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
population
Radioisotopes - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔unstable forms of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
elements that decay to more stable
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
forms at a constant rate over time.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
macroevolution - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔refers to large-scale |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
changes in organisms, generally occurring over millions of years.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, adaptive radiation - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔An evolutionary
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pattern in which many species evolve from a single ancestral
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species
speciation - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the process in which one
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species splits to form |\ |\ |\
two or more species that are reproductively isolated from each
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
other.
4 mechanisms of evolution - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The 4
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mechanisms are: • Natural Selection |\ |\ |\ |\
• Genetic Drift • Gene Flow
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
• Mutation
|\
gene pool - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the sum of all the genetic
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
information carried by all the individuals in a|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
population.
gene flow - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the movement of genes from
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
one population to another.
|\ |\ |\
genetic drift - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a random process that can
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cause the gene pool of a population to change randomly from
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
one generation to the next over time.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
mutations - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔are the ultimate source of all
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
genetic variation and |\ |\
