Evolution 2, Classification, Cladograms, Patterns

Front

What is Coevolution?

Back

Coevolution is the process where two or more species influence each other's evolutionary trajectory, often forming specialized relationships.

Front

What are the three domains of life?

Back

The three domains of life are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Front

What does a cladogram represent in evolution?

Back

A cladogram represents the evolutionary relationships among species, illustrating the concept of descent with modification.

Front

Which organisms are most closely related to primates according to cladograms?

Back

According to cladograms, primates are most closely related to rodents and rabbits.

Front

What is geographic isolation?

Back

Geographic isolation occurs when a physical barrier separates a population, leading to the development of distinct species.

Front

Define Convergent Evolution.

Back

Convergent evolution is the process where unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environmental pressures.

Front

What is Gradualism in evolution?

Back

Gradualism is the theory that evolution occurs slowly and steadily over long periods of time.

Front

What is Extinction?

Back

Extinction is the end of an organism or a group of organisms, often due to environmental changes or loss of habitat.

Front

What is Natural Selection?

Back

Natural selection is the process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Front

What is a Cladogram?

Back

A cladogram is a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among various biological species based on shared characteristics.
