Unit 6 & &7 - Keystone Review Session

When allelic frequencies do not change between generations

• genetic drift

• founder effect

• natural selection

• Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

structure that is no longer used but was by common ancestor

• homologous structure

• analogous structure

• vestigial structure

• maximum parsimony

type of evolution that occurs rapidly

• punctuated equilibrium

• adaptive radiation

• mass extinction

• founder effect

species only found in one region

• species

• endemic species

• invasive species

• keystone species

all the alleles available in a region

• gene pool

• Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

• Pseudogenes

• allelic frequencies

using the simplest explanation when building phylogenic trees

• minimalism

• binomial nomenclature

• transitional fossils

• maximum parsimony

evidence that links ancestral species to their descendants

• transitional fossils

• radiometric dating

• pseudogenes

• morphological structures

change in allele frequency due to a dramatic event

• mass extinction

• gradual extinction

• founder effect

• bottleneck effect

non-functional genes

• pseudogenes

• codons

• exons

• telomeres

measurement of an organism's reproductive success

• simpson's diversity index

• fitness

• allelic frequencies

• dominance
