Pregunta 24
Pregunta
The functionality of meiosis is
Pregunta 25
Pregunta
In most organisms, meiosis does not produce gametes or spores
Pregunta 26
Pregunta
Evolution is the [blank_start]grand unifying theory[blank_end] of biology.
Pregunta 27
Pregunta
Who first proposed the idea of gradualism in a geological sense?
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
Lamark proposed a mechanism for how life and things change throughout time: the idea of USE AND DISUSE; that body parts used most evolve to become bigger and stronger.
Pregunta 29
Pregunta
[blank_start]Lyell[blank_end], a geologist, proposed the idea that gradualism is still happening at the same rate. He studied geological records and published "Principles of Geology."
Pregunta 30
Pregunta
Darwin thought that Lyell's gradualistic ideas could apply biologically too.
Pregunta 31
Pregunta
Darwin's 3 observations of nature include:
Pregunta 32
Pregunta
Darwinism (the theory of evolution) consists of these major components:
Respuesta
-
perpetual change (always changing)
-
Common descent (living things have unified history, life comes from life)
-
Multiplication of Species (a single ancestral population can split to produce 2 or more populations, becoming different from each other)**
-
Gradualism (populations of organisms accumulate small changes over long periods of time)
-
Natural Selection (mechanism that explains how organisms appear to be designed to meet the demands of their environments "adaptation"
-
none of the above
Pregunta 33
Pregunta
[blank_start]Artificial[blank_end] selection is the process through which humans modify species over many generations by selecting and breeding individuals that possess desired traits.
Pregunta 34
Pregunta
Darwin's 4 postulates are:
Respuesta
-
differences - individuals within a population differ from one another
-
inheritance - the differences are passed down from parent to offspring
-
some individuals are more successful at surviving and reproducing than others
-
the successful individuals are not merely luck, but succeed because of the variant traits they have inherited and will pass onto their offspring
-
gradualism
-
perpetual change
-
multiplication of species
Pregunta 35
Pregunta
Individuals with favorable traits will, on average, survive better than those with unfavorable traits; known as differential survival.
Pregunta 36
Pregunta
Individuals with more favorable traits will usually produce more offspring; known as differential reproduction.
Pregunta 37
Pregunta
[blank_start]Adaptation[blank_end] is an inherited characteristic of an organism that enhances their survival and reproduction in specific environments. A trait that increases an organism's fitness relative to individuals lacking it is called [blank_start]relative fitness[blank_end]; the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation via [blank_start]reproduction[blank_end].
Respuesta
-
Adaptation
-
relative fitness
-
reproduction
Pregunta 38
Pregunta
Natural selection is the only process that can naturally create adaptation.
Pregunta 39
Pregunta
Natural selection operates on [blank_start]individuals[blank_end], selected for/against (more fit, less fit). (not an all or none process)
Pregunta 40
Pregunta
When faced with a changing environment, what options does a population have?
Pregunta 41
Pregunta
Natural selection can only act on existing variations
Pregunta 42
Pregunta
Evolution is limited by historical constraints.
Pregunta 43
Pregunta
Adaptations are often compromises
Pregunta 44
Pregunta
Chance, natural selection, and the environment all interact.
