What is a homologous structure

A structure with similar shape but a different use

How does natural selection lead to evolution

a species can gradually change into new species

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

What causes genetic drift

random chance.

What is the sequence of electron carriers in the electron transport chain starting with the least electronegative

NADH Dehydrogenase

Ubiquinone

Cytochrome b-c1 complex

Cytochrome c

Cytochrome oxidase complex

What tends to increase genetic variation in a population

mutation apex answers

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection

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

What is the term for a preserved footprint left behind by an animal

fossil

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

What is it called when a high percentage of the species on Earth dies off

Mass extinction

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.

How do adaptations affect a species

They make the species more genetically diverse

What is a reproductive strategy

The method an organism uses to produce offspring

the way that a species creates offspring

What do directional selection and disruptive selection have in common-

directional selection and disruptive selection both decrease genetic variation - apex

The number of trout in a lake drops when the lake is polluted. The trout population later increases but the allele frequencies are different. What does this situation represent

Answer this question…

Genetic drift

Which organisms are most closely related

Apex is Mergus serrator and Mergus merganser.

A fly has two alleles for the color of its eyes. The green allele is recessive, and is represented by blue allele is dominant, and is represented by p. If 28 of organisms are green , what is p

0.47 (apex)
