Allele frequencies stay the same if?

if all conditions of hardy-weinberg equilibrium are met.

If a population is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium and p=6,

q=4

Natural selection operates directly on

the phenotype

The process that discriminates between phenotypes with respect to their ability to produce offspring is know as

natural selection

two populations that have no gene flow between them are likely to

become more different with time

The process that results in individuals of two populations losing the ability to interbreed is referred to as



speciation

Two ways in which new alleles can become incorporated in population are

mutation and gene flow

a shift from expected allele frequencies resulting from chance is know as

genetic drift

genetic drift is a process that has a greater effect on populations that

are small

What effect does increasing gene flow between two populations have on their genetic makeup

their deneflow will become more similar making it likely to get a specific trait

how can selection cause two populations to become different with time

each will be subjective to different environmental pressures, the stronger the pressure the more likely and quickly they will become different

describe the effects of directional selection can be offset by gene flow

the gene would have to be isolated from all other environmental pressures otherwise it will offset gene flow

The example "human" is an example of

common name

current scientific thought places organisms in one of ____ kingdoms?

6

the scientific name for the ruffed grouse is bonus umbrellas. bonuses is

the genus

A binomial is always a

two part name

the science of classifying and aiming organisms is known as

taxonomy

which scientific name for the wolf is presented correctly

Canis lupus (italicized)

a road that dichotomizes is

a road that forks into two roads

most scientific names are derived form

Latin

one problem with using common names is that

1. many organisms may have the same common name


2. many common names may exist for the same organism


3. the common name may not be familiar to an individual not speaking the language of the common name

Phylogeny is the apparent

ancestors of an organism

The advantages of using scientific names rather than common names

1. no organism has the same scientific name as another


2. There are not multiple common names for the same organism


3. scientific names are specific to the organism in which anyone who does not speaks the language of the common name can understand

some members of the domain bacteria have

photosynthetic ability

a pathogen is

an organism that causes a disease

gram stain is used to distinguish between different

bacteria

organisms capable of nitrogen fixation

1. include some bacteria


2. include some cyanobacteria


3. may live as simians with other organisms

those organisms that are covered by numerous, tiny locomotory structures belong to phylum

alveolata

which organism cause "red tides?"

dinoflagellates

if you found a fish floating on the water covered with white fuzzy material and tiny dark spheres you would suspect that the fish has been infected by a

water mold

a vector is

an organism that transmits a disease causing organism

the organism that causes malaria is

1. a pathogen


2. Plasmodium vivax


3. carried by a mosquito

the cell wall component algin is

found in the brown algae


used in the production of ice cream

Agar is derived from

red algae

which is the correct plural form of the word fro the organisms studied in this exercise

algae

phycobilins are

1. photosynthetic pigments


2. found in the red algae


3. blue and red pigments

specifically, female sex organs are known as

oogonia

a reagent that stains the stored food of a green alga black is

I2KI

The starch production center within many algal cells in the

pyrenoid

a phylum of organisms most closely linked to the evolution of land plants is the

chlorophyta

gametangia are

sex organs

amoebic dysentery is caused by

Entamoeba (italicized)
