1
Q

whats a transitional form between bipedal dinos and birds

A

archaeopteryx

2
Q

adaptation vs variation

A

adaptaion=product of natural selection and always good

variation=basis of natural selection and can be good or bad

3
Q

whats adaptive radiation

A

the divergent evolution and adaptation of species to different roles in new habitats

4
Q

example of adaptive radiation

A

galapagos islands-the finches wer egeologially isolated resulting in the new beaks to find food in the different environments

5
Q

Pre-zygotic barriers-

A
  • mating or fertilization is not successful
6
Q

mating isolation types

A

geographic
temporal
behavioral

7
Q

fertilization isolation types

A

mechanical

gametic

8
Q

Post-zygotic barriers-

A

hybrid have problems with viability, fertility and hybrid breakdown after 1 generation

9
Q

viablity =

A

the ability for organixm to survive

10
Q

hybrid breakdown=

A

where the initial offspring are fertile and can have offspring but the second generation are sterile

11
Q

significance of hardy weinberg

A

shows us allelic frequencies

allow us to assesss whether evolution occurred with a math formula

12
Q

5 conditions for hardy weinberg equilibrium

A
1-no gene flow
2-no natural selection
3-no mutation
4-large population
5-random mating
13
Q

what is phylogeny

A

branch of biology dealling with

the evolutionary development and diversification of a species or group of organisms, or of a particular feature of an organism.

14
Q

whats a clado gram

A

show the relationship among members of a group including common ancestors

based on derived characteristics

15
Q

whats a phylogenetic tree

A

a diagram where the horizontal axis represents anatomical difference and the vertical axis represennts time.

16
Q

whats phylogeny-

A

a branch of biology dealing wiht the evolutionary development and deversification of a species or a group of organisms

17
Q

whats the horizontal axis in a cladogram

A

of shared characteristic

18
Q

whats the vertical axis in a cladogram

A

time

19
Q

how does culture develop

A

1-larger brain

2-extended time parents car for young

20
Q

larger brain leads to

A

acquisition of culture

21
Q

extended maternal care leads

A

to children learning from the experiences of their parents and -> the basis of culture

22
Q

how did the first organisms get energy

A

abaerobic respiration

23
Q

how did oxygen revolution make new organisms

A

1-photosynthesis makes oxygen
2-aerobic respiration generates alot more energy
3-new organisms can evolve

24
Q

whats the p value

A

p value is the probability that the deviation of the observed from that expected is due to chance alone
