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

What is the difference between reviewing a scientific paper in a conference and submitting a paper during the peer review process

In a conference, a group of scientists from the same field reviews the paper. In a peer review, members from other fields review the paper.

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.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation

Speciation Adaptive radiation refers to changes in a species in response to varying environmental conditions.

many new species form

Which is an example of genetic drift

The distribution of alleles changes due to random chance.

or

The allele frequency of a population changes due to a bottleneck effect. <apex>

Which is an example of vestigial structure

Your coccyx is a vestigial structure that once extended into a tail, though now it is part of the pelvic girdle. Some children still develop tails in very rare circumstances.

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.

What two problems did the development of a vascular system solve for land plants

Conduction and firmness

Which increases the rate speculation

population bottleneck

What contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism Is it chloroplast

No it is not chloroplasts (they are involved in plant photosynthesis). The cell nucleus contains the information for the traits and characteristics of an organism in the form of DNA encoding genes.

A scientist attends an annual conference hosted by the American society of agricultural and biological emgineers. at which type of event is he the most likely to hear an organized debate about genetic
