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 |

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 |
|

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) |
