Final Jeopardy

2. 1 - $100 Darwin served as a ________ on the HMS Beagle.
Naturalist and Companion to the Captain.

3. 1 - $200 Darwin did most of his studies at the ________ Islands.
Galapagos.

4. 1 - $300
What is the directed process of breeding to produce offspring with desired traits?
Artificial Selection.

5. 1 - $400
Darwin mainly studied these birds.
Finches.

6. 1 - $500 What is natural selection?
When species evolve in order to be best suited for their environment.

7. 2 - $100
What is it called when a species evolves in close relation with another species?
Coevolution.

8. 2 - $200 What is convergent evolution?
When unrelated species evolve to resemble one another due to the similar environments that they live in.

9. 2 - $300 Galapagos finches are an example of _________.
Adaptive Radiation.

10. 2 - $400 The two rates of speciation are _________.
Gradualism and Punctuated Equilibrium.

11. 2 - $500
What is the difference between gradualism and punctuated equilibrium?
Gradualism is where evolution takes place in small gradual steps however punctuated equilibrium is where evolution occurs in short bursts.

12. 3 - $100
What states that when allelic frequencies remain the same, a population is in genetic equilibrium?
The Hardy-Weinberg Principle.

13. 3 - $200 What are the founder and bottleneck effect?
The founder effect is where a small portion of a population leaves leading to two separate populations. The bottleneck effect is when a population's size decreases rapidly and then rebounds.

14. 3 - $300 What is directional selection?
When one extreme version of a trait is best for the survival of a species.

15. 3 - $400 What is disruptive selection?
When the extreme forms of a trait are kept because they help the species survive better than the average form of a trait which is removed.

16. 3 - $500 What are the five conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg principle?
No genetic drift, no gene flow, no mutations, mating must be random, and there must be no natural selection.

17. 4 - $100
What is a documented log of fossils used to compare structures of species?
The fossil record.

18. 4 - $200 What are homologous structures?
Anatomically similar structures inherited from a common ancestor.

19. 4 - $300 What is comparative morphology?
Using the structures of species to see how they are related.

20. 4 - $400
Biologists compare embryos to see how species evolve in this strategy?
Comparative embryology.

21. 4 - $500 Comparative Biochemistry is used to __________.
See how a species has evolved through its DNA sequence and amino acids.

22. 5 - $100
Darwin's book is called __________.
The Origin of Species.

23. 5 - $200
What is camouflage?
A strategy used by species in order to blend in with their environments.

24. 5 - $300
What is the difference between prezygotic and postzygotic isolating mechanisms?
Prezygotic occurs before fertilization while postzygotic occurs after fertilization.

25. 5 - $400
What is speciation?
When a population diverges to create two or more populations that are reproductively isolated.

26. 5 - $500 What is biological fitness?
A measure of the relative contribution that an individual trait makes to the next generation.

27. Final Jeopardy What are the four parts of natural selection?
Variation, Heritability, Overproduction, Reproductive Advantages.
