Microevolution | 5 Evidences of Evolution | Speciation | Mechanism |
---|---|---|---|
Evolution at a small scale.
What is microevolution?
|
Analogous and homologous.
What are the two types of structures in comparative anatomy?
|
When internal barriers prevent gene flow from evolving so species can interbreed freely between populations.
What is reproductive isolation?
|
A change in DNA sequence.
What is a mutation?
|
answer will vary.
What is an example of microevolution?
|
Paleontology, Biogeography, Embryology, Molecular biology, and Comparative anatomy.
What can the mnemonic "Polar Bears Eat Moldy Cabbage" stand for in the context of evolution?
|
Organisms that can produce a living, fertile offspring.
What is species?
|
Migration.
What is another name for gene flow?
|
Gene pool.
A group of buffalo species with the same kind of allele for brown fur all live together in a population, what is that called?
|
Similar species grow in the same region. Biogeography shows that species were in the same region before the continents got separated from Pangea.
Why is biogeography considered evidence for evolution?
|
DNA, Yeast, Bacteria, Etc.
What is an example of asexual reproduction?
|
Natural selection
There are two butterflies. One is brown and the other is white. When it starts to snow the white butterfly can camouflage better with its environment. Eventually there is more white butterflies than brown what is that called?
