Species cannot breed because they mate at different times.
Behavioral Isolation
Geographical Isolation
Temporal Isolation
Social Distancing
Species cannot breed because they have different mating habits.

Species cannot breed because they are separated by physical barriers like mountains and rivers.
Behavioral Isolation

Geographic Isolation
Temporal Isolation
When allele frequencies remain constant a.k.a. they do not change.
Genetic Drift
Genetic Equilibrium
Gene pool
Hardy-Weinberg Principle
All the genetic information found in all the members of a population.
Evolution
Natural Selection
Genetic Drift
Gene Pool
Changes in allele frequencies due to chance.
Genetic Drift
Founder Effect
Bottleneck Effect
Natural Selection
Allele frequencies change when a small population migrates to a new area like an island.
Bottleneck Effect
Founder Effect
Genetic Drift
Change in allele frequencies after a population size is greatly reduced like after a wildfire.
Bottleneck Effect
Founder Effect
Genetic Drift
Formation of a new species is called...
(a)
Gentleman who proposed another theory of evolution that included the idea of "use and disuse".
Darwin
Watson
Mendel
Lamarck
Change in a species over time.
Natural Selection
Fitness

Growth
Which of the following is a vestigial organ?
Heart
Lungs
Appendix
Gallbladder
An organ or structure that was once-needed but is no longer necessary...
(a)
Preserved remains including eggs, bones, plant parts, and footprints...
(a)
This diagram represents...
Homologous Structures
Analogous Structures
Vestigial Organs
Same structure but different function. Example: a whale flipper and a human leg.
Homologous
Analogous
Different structures but same function. Example: bird wing and insect wing.
Homologous
Analogous
Homologous structures indicate what type of evolution has occurred.
Divergent Evolution (a.k.a. sharing a common ancestor)
Convergent Evolution (a.k.a. not sharing a common ancestor)
Who proposed the Theory of Evolution?
(a)
The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.
(a)
Any physical or behavioral characteristic in an organism that allows them to better survive and reproduce in their environment.
(a)
The best-adapted organism will be the one who survives and passes its genes on during reproduction.
Evolution
Artificial Selection
Survival of the Fittest
Adaptation
Darwin's proposed mechanism for evolution. The organism best adapted to its environment will ultimately survive and reproduce, passing along those favorable genes to its offspring.
(a)
Initially, which color variety of peppered moths was favorable because they blended in with the lichen?
Light
Dark
As the Industrial Revolution happened, the trees became darker, causing which variety of moths to become better adapted?
Light
Dark
Since dark moths became better adapted, did the dark allele frequency increase or decrease in the population of peppered moths?
Increased
Decreased
When environmental regulations were imposed and trees became lighter, what happened to the light allele frequency?
Increased
Decreased
Nothing

Analogous Structures
All current species have common ancestors and have been changed or modified from them over time.
Evolution
Natural Selection
Descent with Modification
Genetic Drift
If two species have more similar DNA sequences, they are likely...
Distantly related
Closely related
Not related at all
Share a similar evolutionary history as evidenced by DNA similarities.
Gene Pool
Genetic Drift
