Natural selection can be seen in what organism and why?
|
It can be seen in Insects that blend with their background and survive to reproduce at rates that are higher than those that have contrasting colors, and so are eaten by birds.
|
|
Tortoise shells show a variety of shapes. What could happen if food conditions could favor one shape?
|

Gradualism =

|
Adaptive Radiation =

|
|
Parallel Evolution =
|
Evolution due to similar selection pressure
|
|
Coevolution =
|
One species influences another species in evolution
|
|
What are the conditions of a population in equilibrium (not evolving)?
|
No migration in or out (No gene flow)
No natural selection for any traits Mating is random No genetic drift (no disasters that could wipe out large numbers) No mutations |
|
Statement of Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
|
There is variation in populations.
More offspring are produced that can survive. There is a struggle for survival because resources are limited. Some adaptations give individuals an advantage in the struggle for survival. Those with favorable adaptations will survive and produce more offspring (carrying that trait) than those that lack the trait. |
|
Taxonomists =
|
Biologists who classify plants, animals, and other organisms.
|
|
Structural homologies (similarities):
|
ex. Humans are very much like chimpanzee
ex. Members of same genus and species are most alike structurally |
|
Definition of Species

|
|
Taxonomic categories (from most general to most specific):

|
|
How are scientific names written?
