What is a sporophyte

The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis.

A diploid form of a plant

What is gene flow

Gene flow is genes moving between two populations.

the transfer of genes from one gene pool to another

two populations transferring genes

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection

Vestigial structures do not harm the organism. Nature selects against only harmful traits.

Why are archaea in a different domain from bacteria

They are thought to have separate paths of evolutionary development.

They developed along different evolutionary paths.

They had independent evolutionary development.

When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution

When there is low gene flow

When there is no selective pressure

When there is a bottleneck

When will natural selection occur

Natural selection occurs when four conditions are met:

1. There is variation among individuals.

2. That variation is at least partially heritable.

3. That variation is linked to differential reproductive success.

4. More individuals are born than can survive and reproduce.

What describes a DNA mutation

changes in the DNA sequence

How can islation lead to formation of new species

Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).

A paleontologist finds a plant fossil that shows that the plant had seeds What can the paleontologist conclude

it was a land plant.

What could have been responsible for the change in amino acid from gorillas to humans

The proteins in the amino-acids might have been responsible for the change in the hemoglobin between gorillas and humans.
