1. creation stories offer answers to questions about how we came
to be and what our relationship is to other living
things
2. charles darwin understood how speciation occurred (evolution by
natural selection)
3. gregor mendel understood the laws of hereditary (law of
segregation and law of independent assortment)
4. alfred wegener understood plate tectonics and how continental dri
oc-
cured
5. modern a theory of evolution incorporating ideas from
synthe- sis darwin, mendel, and wegener
6. variation natural selection requires upon which
to act
7. mitosis single cell division
8. mitosis results in two daughter cells identical to parent cel
9. 46 chromosomes the products of mitosis contain chromosomes
10. meiosis cell division that produces sex cells
11. meiosis involved two cell divisions resulting in four daughte
cells
12. 23 chromosomes the product of meiosis contains chromosomes
13. gametes sex cells
14. genotype the range of genetic posibilities
15. phenotype the actual observed characteristic based on the ex
pressed alleles

gene
1 pool the genetic variability within a population
1
mutation change alteration of that produces new variation
2
genetic drift variation in the relative frequency of that trait in a
popula- tion
2 flow
gene the introduction of genetic material from one
population to another
2
natural selection the process by which certain traits, better suited to a
particular environment, are 'selected' for
2
populations individuals do not evolve, do
2
adapt one of the most remarkable aspects of humanity is
it's ability to thru cultural means
2
speciation the development of a new species
2
cladogenesis change in species through divergence or branching
from an ancestral form, resulting in two or more
new species
2
anagenesis evolution within a single lineage due to a continued
direc- tional shift in the allele of a population
2
survival based on continued existence as well as the ability to
reproduce
2
species are identified by their reproductive isolation
3
primate humans are classified in the taxonomic order
, which is one of several mammalian orders
3
hominoids within the primate order is the superfamily of
, which includes humans and apes
