Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution with 2 main points... which are?
1. Descent with Modification (Evolution)
2. Natural Selection as a mode of Evolution
In Darwin’s Origin of Species
______ is the process by which favorable heritable traits become more common in successive generations of a population of reproducing organisms, and unfavorable heritable traits become less common.
NATURAL SELECTION
Differential Reproductive Success
_______is a positive characteristic of an organism that has been favored by natural selection. Changes over time to favor said trait.
ADAPTATIONS
Result of Natural Selection
________is the intentional breeding for certain traits, or combinations of traits, over others.
ARTIFICIAL SELECTION
Dogs, Produce, GMO's.
Types of Natural Selection
Directional, Disruptive, Stabilizing
Bell Curves
Similarity in characteristics resulting from common ancestry is known as _______
HOMOLOGY
1. Anatomical (Homologous Structures)
2. Molecular (esp. DNA)
3. Embryological- developmental structures and processes.
______ is the process whereby organisms not closely related and independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to ecological niches or similar environments.
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION
X Where they cross is called ....
Evolution Evidence
Darwin’s views are supported by multiple, independent lines of evidence. Which are?
Evolutionary patterns of Homology that match patterns in space (Biogeography) and time (the Fossil Record).
Space - Time
All Loki, all Alleles of one population of single species.
Gene Pool
In a non-evolving population, we can relate the allele and genotype frequencies using the ______.
Hardy-Weinberg Theorem
H.W. only with assumption of no changes.
_______ that results in different phenotypic traits upon which natural selection can act.
GENETIC VARIATION
Gene Pool represents the _________
______ measure the amount of genetic variation in a population.
ALLELE FREQUENCIES
Used in Hardy-Weinberg Equation
_____ show how a population's genetic variation is distributed among its members.
GENOTYPE FREQUENCIES
Used in Hardy-Weinberg Equation
Migration of individuals between populations results in ______
GENETIC FLOW
Opposite Genetic Drift
a change in a population’s allele frequencies due to CHANCE.
GENETIC DRIFT
______ is most effective in small populations
Genetic drift: _______ is when surviving population may not be representative of the original population’s gene pool
BOTTLENECK
Pour me out!
Genetic drift: ______ is when a few individuals from a larger population colonize an isolated new habitat.
Founder Effect
Mutant Hands!
A change in an organism’s DNA can change the gene pool of a population
Mutation
original source of Genetic Variation
Individual chooses other individual of particular genotypes as mates
NONRANDOM MATING
Results in deviation from HARDY-Weinberg equilibrium
____ is an individual's ability to propagate its genes
FITNESS
Survival of the ______
the advantage which certain individuals have over others of the same sex and species solely in respect of reproduction
SEXUAL SELECTION
frequently involves a TRADE-OFF between survival and attracting mates.
Arises (typically) from competition among males for access to females or mating sites
INTRASEXUAL selection
Often results in larger body sizes or weaponry that may be advantageous in battle
Females are usually more selective in mate choice than males
INTERSEXUAL SELECTION
Mate Choice
survival and reproduction of any one morph declines if that form becomes too common.
Frequency-dependent selection
Bacteria adapts and can kill common genotype
