microevolution vs macroevolution~macroevolution- evolution occurring above the species level (including the origination, diversification and extinction of species over long periods of evolutionary time) ~microevolution- evolution occurring within pops (including adaptive and neutral changes in allele frequencies from one generation to the next) ~can study fossil record, molecular phylogenetics, genomics and "evo-devo" studies of morphology to learn about macroevolution ~macroevoluti...

world population-has added around 1 billion people over 12 years World population growth trend-there is an overall increase in the population number -the rate of population increase is slowing down -changed from 2% to 1% increases -this is due to low fertility rates what factors are influencing human pop size-future pop growth dependent on the future fertility -the fertility rates have decreased as people are having 1-2 children over 5+ Are other countries contributing more to the g...

Ecological geneticsstudy of how alleles are distributed within and among populations and how their frequencies change over time Questions in ecological genetics- What causes allele frequencies to change - How does allele frequency change affect the population Phenotypic plasticitythe ability of an organism to change its phenotype in response to changes in the environment while remaining the same genotype AllozymesAlleles of the same protein-coding locus ____ is unrelated to organismal c...

Connective tissue:adipose cells (fat cells) occur in large groups in certain areas creating adipose tissue (split into connective tissue proper: loose or dense and special connective tissue: cartilage, bone, blood) Loose connective tissueCells scattered in matrix with large amount of ground substance - provides support, insulation, food storage and nourishment for the epithelium CollagenSupports tissue ElasticMakes tissue elastic Reticulinhelps support the network of collagen Dense co...
