Cards

Term
Characteristics of Mutations
Definition
mistakes in genes and chromosomes; random;  ultimate source of variation in every population
Term

List Taxonomic Catogories

Definition

Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species,

 

the more they share the more similar; as you move up less inclusive ; go down more inclusive

Term
Define Microevolution
Definition
a change in gene frequency in a population over time
Term
Define Platetetonics
Definition
plates slide through boundary of plates;affect their enviroment, they group an seperate animals, makes montains and volcanoes and effects enviroments
Term
Define the biological concept of species
Definition
ability to have sex, have a baby, and babies able to have babies
Term
Time frame in which  Carbon isotopes can be used for dating fossils
Definition
50-100,000 years
Term
Relative Dating and absoulute Dating
Definition

occurs to know age of rock but not fossil; taking age of a rock to date a fossil

 

1/64-1/32-1/16

 

6x6000=36000

Term
State the time humans appear if earths age were compressed into an hour
Definition
last ten seconds; 23 hours 59 min 50 seconds
Term
The  kingdom that evolved first
Definition
Bacteria is the kingdom and prokaryotes for 3.8 billion years
Term

state the smallest unit of evolution

Definition
population
Term
state how allels arise
Definition
arrived by mutations
Term
Type of mutations not subject to evolution
Definition

-no gene flow

-no natural selection

-random sex

- no mutation

- big population

Term
Bottle Neck Effect
Definition
can change gene frequency if small in size, if killed
Term

founder effect

Definition
form of genetic drift,changing a populations gene pool because of its small size
Term

Hormology

Definition

similar structure, but dissimilar function.

a common ancestor

(whale fin, an bird wing)

Term
Analogy
Definition

dissimilar structure , similar function

(butterfly wing and bird wing, both fly)

Term
Divergent Evolution
Definition
when population splits and gets different
Term
Convergent Evoultion
Definition
when 2 populations come together makeing them more similar
Term

Gene Flow

Definition
genetic additions or subtractions from a population, resulting from the movement of fertile individuals of gametes
Term
Genetic Drifts
Definition
unpredictacble fluctuations in gene frequencies from one population to next because of a populations finite size
Term
Genetic Drifts and Genetic flow
Definition
change gene frequencies and both cause evolution
Term
compare the primitive earths atmosphere to ours today
Definition
it hadd no oxygen, took over billion yeears to accumulate oxygen
Term
Gradualism
Definition

-Darwin

- small to big chances

Term
Punctuated Equllibrium
Definition

Steve. J. Gul

(stavle to big changes)

Term
Fossils in different geological strata
Definition

bottom have oldest simples, least variety of fossils

 

as you go up they have more complex fossils and are young

Term
Lamarack's Ideas
Definition

he stated whatever physical features your parents have offspring ill hav them. but you can only pass on genes that are NOT somatic.

 

-use and dissuse

Term
Adaptive Radiation
Definition
specis in one area move and occupie new habitance and have slight changes in looks , adpat to  new enviroment.
Term
Evolutionary fitness
Definition
depends on how many you make and put into the world
Term
Sources of Variation
Definition
ultimate source is mutations than sex
Term
Speciation
Definition
when species diverge and turn into diffetn species
Term
First organisms of life
Definition
Bacteria, 3.8 billion years
Term
The effects of flow and genectic drift on allele frequencies ove time
Definition
they change  the flow and genetic drift
Term

Examples of Homoglgy

Definition

your arm  to a whale

 

a bird to a dog

Term
Example of BottleNeck Effect
Definition

something getting killed indicriminately

 

(disasters,it is unpredicable)

 

 

Term
Examples of of founder effect
Definition
Term
Habitats that would or would not be conductive to fossil formation
Definition
icy place, tre sap, dangerous places
Term
consequences of not finishing an antibiotic regime
Definition
bacteria creates super bugs, begin to take over
Term
results in a population that was endangered but now protected
Definition
low genetic variation
Term
Darwins main ideas
Definition

-variation exsists in populations

-populations have a capacity to make lotes of babies

--resiurces are limited

-competition is inetible

-differental reproduction

Term
Fossil record
Definition
fossils are rare..
Term
Big Bang
Definition
origin of the UNIVERSE
Term
Significance of an atmosphere with oxygen
Definition
oxygen is corrosive(tends to break things apart)
