Unit 10 World Evolution

Question 1

Biotic potential

Answer 1

The ability to report dice exponentially

Question 2

What are the postulates of natural selection

Answer 2

Biotic Potential (exponential growth)
Variation by mutation
Differential fitness
Heritability of traits

Question 3

Homologous

Answer 3

Similarity due to common ancestor

Question 4

Analogy

Answer 4

Similarity not due to common ancestry

Question 5

Synapomorprhy

Answer 5

Homolgy traits that no one else has

Question 6

An example of homology throughout all lifeb

Answer 6

The universal genetic code because all animals interpret it the same wat

Question 7

What are the three evidences of evolution

Answer 7

Atavisms
Vestigial structures
Embryo development

Question 8

Atavisms

Answer 8

Evolutionary relics, appear rarely (human tails)

Question 9

Vestigial structures

Answer 9

Eve lotion are left overs, species have but do not have a function (appendix and tail bone)

Question 10

Embryo development

Answer 10

Similar development pathways for related organisms like the shape of turtle vs. human embryos

Question 11

What are the assumptions of hard Weinberg equilibrium

Answer 11

No random mating, no gene flow, no genetic drift, no mutation, and no selection
