What is an advantageous mutation?
Give this one a try later!
a mutation that increases one's fitness
What is the Ecosystem Restoration conservation strategy? Provide an example
Give this one a try later!
Restoring an ecosystem that has been negatively impacted
- The restoration of a clear-cut forrest in Borneo has successfully produced
a dramatic increase in both species diversity and ecosystem services
,What is sympatric speciation?
Give this one a try later!
Isolating traits evolve without populations being separated
What is reinforcement?
Give this one a try later!
natural selection to avoid hybridization
What is population genetics?
Give this one a try later!
a field of biology that measures allele and genotype frequencies in a
population in order to quantify "evolution"
What do nodes (branch points) on a phylogenetic tree represent?
Give this one a try later!
common ancestors of the descendants
,What does it mean to say species are a "construct"?
Give this one a try later!
Nature doesn't care about species or having living organisms fit nicely into
our definitions. A "species" is a human construct that can be very helpful for
studying organisms and understanding the process of evolution, but a
species is rarely going to perfectly fit our simplified definitions.
What is the founder effect?
Give this one a try later!
genetic drift that occurs after a small number of individuals from a large
population colonize a new area
What is complete dominance?
Give this one a try later!
when the dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele, so only
one allele is seen
What are the two components measured in taxonomic species diversity?
Give this one a try later!
, - the total number of species in an area (species richness)
- some abundance weighted measure (shannon diversity index)
What does HWE tell us?
Give this one a try later!
what allele and genotype frequencies should be from generation to
generation when there's NO EVOLUTION
What does "common ancestor" mean?
Give this one a try later!
an ancestor two or more descendants have in common
What are multiple alleles?
Give this one a try later!
Traits controlled by more than 2 alleles
- One gene for multiple alleles
- Ex. the ABO blood system is controlled by 3 alleles, but only 2 are
present in an individual
Why is "Organisms evolve" a misconception?
