Scientists	Natural Selection	Evidence for Evolution	Speciation	Patterns of evolution
100 Who is the scientist that proposed the first mechanisms of evolution? Jean-Baptiste Lamarck	100 What is the theory of natural selection? Over time the population changes as advantageous heritable characteristics become more common generation after generation	100 What are the three forms of evidence that convinced Darwin of evolution? Biogeography Anatomical Features Embryology	100 What is speciation? The formation of a new species	100 What is coevolution? The process in which one species evolves in response to the evolution of another species
200 What were the two first proposed mechanisms of evolution? 1. Theory of use and disuse 2. Theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics	200 What Herbert Spencer used to describe natural selection? Survival of the fittest	200 What feature is a structure with a common evolutionary origin that may serve different functions in modern species? Homologous features	200 What is the biological species concept? Species are groups of individuals that can mate and produce fertile offspring under normal circumstances.	200 What is convergent evolution? The evolution of similar traits in very distantly related species
300 Who is the father of Evolution? Charles Darwin	300 What are the types of selection? Directional Selection Stabilizing Selection Disruptive Selection Sexual Selection	300 What are features that no longer serve the function they do in similar species? Vestigial features	300 What are the 2 types of isolating mechanisms? Pre-zygotic and post-zygotic	300 What type of evolution is seen in homologous structures? Divergent Evolution
400 Name two scientists who published in the 18th century? George-louis Buffon Carl Linnaeus Erasmus Darwin	400 What is genetic drift, and what are the two types/effects? Genetic drift: changes to allele frequency as a result of chance Genetic bottle neck - dramatic often temporary, reduction in population size, usually resulting in significant genetic drift Founder effect - genetic drift that results when a smaller number of individuals separate from their original population and establish a new population	400 What specific fossils show a change over time, proving evolution occurred? Transitional Forms	400 What are the types of speciation? Allopatric speciation & sympatric speciation	400 What type of evolution is seen in analogous structures? Convergent Evolution
500 What scientist proposed the theory of Uniformitarianism? Charles Lyell	500 What are the Hardy-Weinburg principle and the five conditions that must be met for no evolution? H-W: In large populations in which only random chance is at work, allele frequencies are expected to remain constant from generation to generation. 1. No selection 2. No mutation 3. No migration 4. Large population 5. Random mating	500 What are the four observations Darwin made while on the Galapagos islands? 1. Many species of plants, birds, insects, and in some cases, reptiles 2. No native amphibians and very few land mammals 3. Many unique species found nowhere else on earth 4. Unique species most closely resemble species on the nearest continental land mass	500 If humans build a dual highway (2- 2-lane highways) what type of mechanism and type of speciation is used? Ecological (Habitat) isolation - Pre-zygotic Mechanism Allopatric speciation	500 Rodents are an example of what type of evolution? Divergent evolution
