Darling Darwin Pop-pop- Population Genetics Naturally Natural Selection Today’s Special: Speciation Make Mine “Big Changes” Phylogeny- schmylogeny

This book published in 1859 set off a controversy still lively today. A 100

What is “The Origin of Species”? A 100

A rival theory that characteristics acquired during a lifetime could be passed on to offspring was proposed by this man. A 200

Who is Lamarck? A 200

This phrase refers to Darwin’s idea that all organisms have descended from a common ancestor. A 300

What is descent with modification? A 300

This term describes the idea that though a bat wing, an elephant foot and a person’s hand look different outside, they look very similar inside and are derived from a common ancestor. A 400

What is homologous? A 400

The evolutionarily left over but unused structures, like the human appendix or leg bones in whales are called this. A 500

What is vestigial? A 500

Change in the genetic makeup of a population. B 100

What is microevolution? B 100

Greater in small populations than large ones, the unpredictable fluctuation in allele frequencies. B 200

What is genetic drift? B 200

The result of a few members of a population surviving a catostrophic change in the environement. B 300

What is the Bottleneck Effect? B 300

The result of a few members of a population becoming isolated from the original population and establishing their own. B 400

What is the TV show Lost? No, really, it’s the Founder Effect B 400

With this (name and formula please) it can be determined whether or not a population is evolving by checking allele frequency. B 500

What is p 2 + 2pq + q 2 or the Hardy Weinberg theorem? B 500

Given credit for describing evolution as a result of Natural Selection C 100

Who is Charles Darwin? C 100

The condition for traits to have in order for Natural Selection to act on them. C 200

What is heritable? C 200

Economist responsible for the idea that populations place greater demand on resources than environment can supply. C 300

Who is Malthus? C 300

DAILY DOUBLE C 400 DAILY DOUBLE Place A Wager

Along with Natural Selection and Genetic Drift, one of the 3 major influences bringing about Evolutionary change. C 400

What is Gene Flow? C 400

Along with stabilizing and disruptive, one of the three modes of selection in adaptive evolution. C 500

What is directional? C 500

Evolutionary change at the species level, like the appearance of hair or limbs. D 100

What is macroevolution? D 100

Indicates species breed at different times of day or year and thus prevents them from mating. D 200

What is temporal isolation? D 200

This term refers to a population forming a new species because of geographical isolation from the parent population. D 300

What allopatric speciation? D 300

This term refers to apparent periods of little evolutionary change interrupted periodically by rapid change. D 400

What is punctuated equilibrium? D 400

Sympatric speciation can be accomplished through non- disjunction in meiosis by forming these type of plants. D 500

What is autopolyploid? D 500

E 100 Evolutionary changes above the species level.

E 100 What is macroevolution?

These structures evolve for one purpose but get co-opted for another. E 200

What are exaptations.? E 200

The “control genes” lay out the general plan for bodies, i.e., put the head here, put the tail there. E 300

What are homeotic or Hox genes? E 300

This field of study combines evolution and developmental biology to show how small genetic changes can turn into large morphological changes. E 400

What is “Evo-Devo”? E 400

Refers to the different growth rates of different body parts, like the jaw versus the skull. E 500

What is allometric growth? E 500

The order of taxonomy between genus and order. F 100

What is family? F 100

Comparing DNA and RNA to infer evolutionary relationships. F 200

What is molecular systematics. F 200

A group of species that includes an ancestral species and all its descendants. F 300

What is a clade? F 300

Each categorization at a level of classification. F 400

What is a taxon? F 400

The idea that the simplest explanation in line with the facts should be the first investigated F 500

What is maximum parsimony? F 500
