A

Added to concept to evolutionary life such as comparative embryology

18
Q

Who is Alfred Wegner

A

Proposed that the continents were all once connected

19
Q

Name the 3 types of selection

A

Natural - Sexual - Artificial

20
Q

What are the three types of natural selection

A

Directional - Disruptive - stabilizing

21
Q

Give an example of gene drift

A

Most of the species is wiped out, but few survive most times due to genetic differences

22
Q

What is gene flow

A

Where a species is first separated and are now different, then reunited and mixed

23
Q

Give an example of evidence of evolution

A

Comparative embryology
Fossil record
Comparative Anatomy
Adaptive radiation

24
Q

What is convergent evolution

A

Organisms that’s not closely related, independently evolve with similar traits

25
Q

Sympatric speciation

A

Happens between closely related species and does not involve a geographic barrier

26
Q

Allopathic speciation

A

Involves a geographic barrier

27
Q

Origin of new taxonomic groups

A

Macro evolution

28
Q

Prezygotic

A

Prevents mating from happening

29
Q

Postzygotic

A

Prevent fertilization or prevent potential hybrids from passing on their genes

30
Q

The 4 prezygotic isolation mechanisms

A

Habitat
Temporal
Behavioral
Mechanical

31
Q

The 4 postzygotic mechanisms

A

Zygote dies
Hybrid unviability
Hybrid sterility
Low hybrid fitness

32
Q

What is an incipient species

A

A group of organisms that is about to become a separate species from other, related individuals

33
Q

He discovered superposition

A

Nicholas Steno

34
Q

He inferred the theory of Use and Disuse. Proposing animals evolved this way

A

Jean Baptiste Lamarock

35
Q

Analogous structure

A
