Vocabulary Review - Advance Genetics and Evolution

Adaptive radiation

• the evolution of an animal or plant group from a common ancestor into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life

• the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals and the steps are taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits

• neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele

• occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection.

Artificial Selection

• the evolution of an animal or plant group from a common ancestor into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life

• the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals and the steps are taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits

• neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele

• occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection.

Codominance

• the evolution of an animal or plant group from a common ancestor into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life

• the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals and the steps are taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits

• neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele

• occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection.

Coevolution

• the evolution of an animal or plant group from a common ancestor into a wide variety of types adapted to specialized modes of life

• the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals and the steps are taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits

• neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele

• occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection.

Convergent evolution

• is the process whereby organisms not closely independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.

• the process whereby groups from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.

• is the variety of life on earth

• the available body of facts or information indicating whether a proposition is true or valid

Divergent Evolution

• is the process whereby organisms not closely independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.

• the process whereby groups from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.

• is the variety of life on earth

• the available body of facts or information indicating whether a proposition is true or valid

Diversity of life

• is the process whereby organisms not closely independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.

• the process whereby groups from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.

• is the variety of life on earth

• the available body of facts or information indicating whether a proposition is true or valid

Evidence

• is the process whereby organisms not closely independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.

• the process whereby groups from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.

• is the variety of life on earth

Evolution

• change in a kind of organism over time; the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms.

• a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring

• the process of determining the sequence of nucleotides in a segment of DNA.

• an organism's complete set of genetic instructions.
