Biology (Evolution)

Question 1

Adaptive Radiation

Answer 1

Adaptive Radiation (One organism changes into different organisms because of the environment)

Question 2

Altruismus

Answer 2

Altruism (Behaviour that benefits the species but not the individual)

Question 3

Analoge Strukturen

Answer 3

Analogous Structures (Structures that evolved from different origins)

Question 4

Künstliche Selektion

Answer 4

Artificial Selection (Inherited trait chosen by humans)

Question 5

Verhaltensisolation

Answer 5

Behavioural Isolation (Different behaviours prevent individuals in a species from mating with each other)

Question 6

Koevolution

Answer 6

Co Evolution (Two species affect each other’s evolution)

Question 7

Kontinentaldrift

Answer 7

Continental Drift (Europe and North America are moving away from each other)

Question 8

Gerichtete Selektion

Answer 8

Directional Selection (The environment causes a trait to move in ONE direction)

Question 9

Disruptive Selektion

Answer 9

Disruptive Selection (The environment causes trait to move away from the middle and towards opposite ends)

Question 10

Ökologische Isolation

Answer 10

Ecological Isolation (When two species can not breed with each other because they live in different habitats)

Question 11

Fossil

Answer 11

Fossil (Mold or cast of an organism in rock)

Question 12

Gametische Isolation

Answer 12

Gametic Isolation (When sperm and egg can not join together)

Question 13

Genfluss

Answer 13

Gene Flow (The movement of genes in or out of population)

Question 14

Gendrift

Answer 14

Generic Drift (Change in gene frequency in a population that is usually due to chance)

Question 15

Gradualismus

Answer 15

Gradualism (Species change a little bit at a time (also known as Natural selection))

Question 16

Hardy-Weinberg-Gesetz

Answer 16

Hardy Weinberg Equibilibrium (States that allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences)

Question 17

Homologe Strukturen

Answer 17

Homologous Structures (Structures that look different but came from the same origin)

Question 18

Hybride Unfruchtbarkeit

Answer 18

Hybrid Infertility (Two different species can mate but they can not reproduce themselves)

Question 19

Hybride Inviabilität

Answer 19

Hybrid Inviability (Two different species can mate but they can not produce an offspring that will survive)

Question 20

Hybridenzusammenbruch

Answer 20

Hybrid Breakdown (First generation of two species can reproduce BUT the second generation can not reproduce)

Question 21

Makroevolution

Answer 21

Macroevolution (When evolution happens on a large scale such that different species evolve into different species)

Question 22

Mechanische Isolation

Answer 22

Mechanical Isolation (Two different species can not mate because their reproductive structures do not fit with each other)

Question 23

Microevolution

Answer 23

Microevoltution (When evolution happens on a small scale, often changes within a species)

Question 24

Mimikry

Answer 24

Mimicry (When an organism adapts physical traits of another organism to get some type of evolutionary advantage)

Question 25

Natürliche Auslese

Answer 25

Natural Selection (Inherited trait chosen by the environment)

Question 26

Paläontologie

Answer 26

Palaeontology (The branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants)

Question 27

Phylogenese

Answer 27

Phylogeny (The history of how species have developed)

Question 28

Postzygotischer Isolationsmechanismus

Answer 28

Postzygotic Isolating Mechanism (Things that prevent species from forming after the sperm and egg have joined

Question 29

Präzygotischer Isolationsmechanismus

Answer 29

Prezygotic Isolating Mechanism (Things that prevent a sperm and egg from joining)

Question 30

Primat

Answer 30

Primate (Advanced mammals that stand upright and grasp tools)

Question 31

Punktiertes Gleichgewicht

Answer 31

Punctuated Equilibrium (A theory of evolution that says species only change at certain times)

Question 32

Radioisotop

Answer 32

Radioisotope (A radioactive isotope that can be used to determine the age of a fossil)

Question 33

Selektive Züchtung

Answer 33

Selective Breeding (Humans choose what traits they want in different species)

Question 34

Sexuelle Auslese

Answer 34

Sexual Selection (Certain traits evolve more commomly in certain species because those individuals are more attractive to their mates)

Question 35

Speziation, Artbildung

Answer 35

Speciation (Forming a new species)

Question 36

Stabilisierende Selektion

Answer 36

Stabilizing Selection (Environment causes trait to stay the same)

Question 37

Überleben des Stärksten

Answer 37

Survival of the Fittest (Species change over time and go on to reproduce because of influence of the environment)

Question 38

Zeitliche Isolation

Answer 38

Temporal Isolation (When two species can not reproduce because they mate at different times)
