AP Bio Evolution; Questions & Answers 100% Solved
evolution Correct answer-the change in a population's inherited traits from generation to
generation
natural selection Correct answer-the evolutionary process by which favorable traits that
are heritable become more common in successive generations
evolutionary adaptations Correct answer-inherited traits further developed through
evolution
gradualism Correct answer-the slow, gradual steps of change
uniformitarianism Correct answer-the philosophy of science that believes that the
natural processes operating now are doing so at the same rate as in the past
artificial selection Correct answer-the intentional breeding of certain characteristics over
others
homology Correct answer-any similarity between structures due to shared ancestry
homologous structures Correct answer-any structures that are sismilar due to shared
ancestry
, AP Bio Evolution; Questions & Answers 100% Solved
vestigial organs Correct answer-anatomical structures of organisms in a species which
have lost much or all of their original function due to evolution
phylogeny Correct answer-the study of evolutionary relatedness among various groups of
organisms
population Correct answer-the collection of people or organisms of a particular species
living in a given geographic area or space
species Correct answer-one of the basic units of biological classification
Hardy-Weinberg Theorum Correct answer-a relationship between the frequencies of
alleles and the genotype of a population
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium Correct answer-when alleles are in perfect Hardy-Weinberg
proportion
Hardy-Weinberg equation Correct answer-p²+2pq+q²=1
macroevolution Correct answer-evolution that occurs at or above the species level
bottleneck effect Correct answer-an evolutionary event in which a significant percentage
of a population or species is killed or otherwise prevented from reproducing
