Definition
developed he classiication system known as taxonomy
Term

Definition

Created by Linneus . Two word scientic naming system.

ex: Homo sapians

A group o populations that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring

 

A universal naming system

Term
James Hulton
Definition
Proposed Gradualism - a very slow process that help orm canyons
Term
uniormitarianism
Definition
intoduced by Lyell. Geological processes are still shaping the world as they did in the past.
Term
Jean Baptist Lamark
Definition

Believed in the theory of aquired traits.

Theries came beore Darwin.

Term
Charled Darwin is the
Definition
father of evolution
Term
Origin of Species
Definition

by Natural Selection : written by Darwin in 1859

study of finiches in Galapogos islands

 

Term
Darwins Theory
Definition

Over reproduce

Many variations between offspring

survival of the fittest

the ones who survive will produce more offspring

Term
How did Maithus influence Darwin?
Definition
showed that if humans progress like animals we will eventualy run out of food
Term
How did Lyrll inluence Darwin?
Definition
by introducing umiformitism
Term
How did animal breeders inluence Darwin?
Definition
By introducing artiicial selection
Term
Homolougous structures
Definition
parts of organisms that are used for different actions today depending on the organism
Term
Best evidence of evolution
Definition
DNA
Term
What is significant about all vertabrates that leads scientists to lean towards the idea of evolution?
Definition
We all start of with tails and gills
Term
population genetics
Definition
the study of individual population traits
Term
define population
Definition
a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring and make up a species
Term
gene pool
Definition
total amount of genes that make up a population
Term
allele frequency
Definition
percentage of individuals within a population that have a particular allele
Term
Hardy Weinburg Rules
Definition
Large Population
Random Meeting
No Natural Selecion
No immigaration or migration
no mutations
Term
What is it called when organisms do not meet the hardy weinburg equation
Definition
they are evolving
Term
genetic drift
Definition
a group of organisms with a large population become isolated
Term
bottle neck effect
Definition
typr of genetic drift: when disaster kills off all all organisms within a population except for a small # (original population is not well represented)
Term
founder effect
Definition
type of genetic drift: a small # of organisms from a large population go and colonize an isolated island, lake or some other habitat, this may lead to microevolution
Term
gene flow
Definition
In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration) is the transfer of alleles of genes from one population to another.
Term
inbreeding
Definition
when populations make or marry individuals in their area for generations could lead to this
Term
selective breeding
Definition
mates may be chosen because of certain physical traits that eliminate other individials in a population
Term
natural selection
Definition
best adapts a gene pool to a hanging enviorment
Term
polymorphism
Definition
if a particular trait or morph has two different alleles that are easily recognized within a population
Term
geographic variation
Definition
a population may be be caused dut to differenences in the enviorment
Term
cline
Definition
differences in temperature due to an elevation change ,leads to geoographical variations
Term
sexual recombination
Definition
can lead to population changes in gene pool
Term
How can sexual recombination happen?
Definition
mutation in sex cells
crossing over in prophase 1
independent assortment in metaphase 1
fertilization (shuffles the chromosomes)
Term
heterozygote protection
Definition
many recessive alleles are protected in the hybrid state: ensures variation in population
Term
darwinian fitness
Definition
relative contribution an individual makes gene pool to the next generation
Term
stabilizin selection
Definition
average individual has the best change of survival
Term
directional selection
Definition
favors individual of one extreme phenotype usually during environmental change
Term
disruptive selection
Definition
selection that favors both extremes over intermediates
Term
macroevelution
Definition
evolutions of species on a larger scale.
Term
phyletic evolution
Definition
accumulation of changes associated with transformation on one species into another called this or anagenesis
Term
cladogenisis
Definition
building a species cart with branches
Term
prezygotic barriers
Definition
-habitat
-temperal isolation
behavioral isolation
mating
-gamete isolation
Term
postzygotic
Definition
reduced hybrid viability
reduced hybrid fertility
hybrid breakdown
Term
adaptive radiation
Definition
evolution of many diversity related species from common ancestors
