A | B |
temporal isolation | organisms reproducing at different times |
vestigial | apparently useless features |
genetic equalibrium | allele frequencies that don't significantly change over time |
coevolution | the change of 2 or more species in close association with each other |
convergent evolution | occurs when the environment selects similar phenotypes |
divergent evolution | 2 or more related populations or species become more and more dissimilar |
adaptive radiation | many related species evolove from a single ancestral species |
artificial selection | breeding of organisms by humans for specific characteristics |
hardy weinberg | calculates gene frequency in a population |
sources of genetic variation | mutations and sexual reproduction |
transitional fossil | shows features of two unlike organisms |
1st living organisms on earth | bacteria |
most recently evolved organisms on earth | mammals |
this group of organisms evolved from amphibians | reptiles |
one species diverging into two or more species | speciation |
missing link | has characteristics of two different animal groups |
microevolution | a species obtaining slight differences over time |
macroevolution | unlike organisms descended from a common ancestor |
selective pressure | environmental factor causing organisms to evolve |
gene pool | all genes of a species |
