Evolution

One side of the phenotypic range is favored over the other end.

A population whose allele frequencies are not changing is said to be in:

Sticklebacks getting cut off from the ocean when sea levels fell.

Which of the following lead to natural selection?

Changes in a population due to chance events not related to fitness (think tree and villagers).

Which of the following can prevent speciation from occurring?

Change in species over time. Descent with modification from a common ancestor.

This person's theory of evolution included the idea of "use and disuse".

The combined genetic information of all the members of a population.

All organisms alive today evolved from earlier organisms called ancestors.

Salamanders cut off from each other by the Central Valley as they migrated southward.

Evidence of the similarity between DNA and protein structure.

Who should win a mano-a-mano between Ironman and Captain America?

Source of new variation in a population.  Could be good or bad variation.

Tree frogs reproduce at night, bullfrogs reproduce during the day.

Two maggot flies breed and lay eggs on different types of apples.

The ability of an individual to survive and reproduce.

Evidence included transitional forms which show features of multiple groups of organisms.

A trait which allows an organism to survive and reproduce more effectively in its environment.

The "Father" of modern evolutionary theory is:

Early in development, species look similar to each other because they have a common ancestor.

The movement of alleles between populations by migration.

Favors individuals with intermediate phenotypes and eliminates extremes.

Changes in plants or animals due to humans choosing which traits to breed.

Favors individuals with traits at either extreme of phenotypic range.

According to Buddy in the movie Elf, which is NOT a food group?

Which of the following is NOT required for genetic equilibrium

A type of genetic drift which results from a drastic reduction in population size.

Evidence which involves where organisms live now and where their ancestors lived in the past.

What was the name of the volleyball in the movie Castaway?

Genitalia are no longer the correct shape and/or size to reproduce.

Evidence which shows when organisms first appeared and the order in which they appeared.

The number of times an allele occurs in a population compared with other alleles.

Structures with same common ancestor, same structure, different function.

Males compete for the right to reproduce, females choose desired traits.

Evidence which comes from analogous, homologous and vestigial structures.

A group of organisms whose members can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Evolution where many new species can evolve from an ancestor in a short period of time

Structures with same function, different ancestor, different structural makeup.

Evolution which can be represented as: Species A--->Species B--->Species C
