Evolution Warm Up 3/31

Where the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artifical Selection

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

• Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
• Because they come from dominant alleles.
• Because they come from recessive alleles.
• Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

Structures with the same parts have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestry

• vestigial structures
• homologous structures
• adaptive radiation
• fossil

Study of embryos of various organisms to show a common ancestor because of similarities in development

• natural selection
• embryology
• speciation
• evolution

When unrelated species evolve similar characteristics because they live in similar

environments

• Divergent Evolution

• Speciation

• Convergent Evolution

• Punctuated equilibrium

A number of different species arise from one common ancestor

- New environments caused differences to evolve in populations

• Convergent Evolution

• Divergent Evolution

• Coevolution

• Gradualism

This structure could be leftover from an ancestor that had used the structure, and thus could provide evidence of divergent evolution

• Homologous

• Analogous

• Vestigial

A few deer wander out of their native woods into a completely new park where no deer had ever been before. They go on to create an entirely new population.

• Genetic Drift
• Natural Selection
• Non-random mating
• Mutation

What does the picture represent?

• Founder Effect
• Mutations
• Bottleneck effect
• Gene Flow

These are natural differences within a species.

• Evolution
• Genetic variation
• Biological diversity
• Populations
