What are the 2 theories of evolution? Explain each - correct answer Gradualism- geologic changes result from slow, gradual, continuous process Punctuated Equilibrium- Long period of stasis punctuated by short bursts of significant change. What was Lamarck's theory and why was it wrong? - correct answer Lamarck = Inheritance of Acquired characteristics- traits acquired during lifetime could be passed on What is natural selection - correct answer Comptetition for limited resources re...

Simply-Inherited Traits Correct Answer: traits affected by only a few genes qualitative or categorical affected little by environment Quantitative Correct Answer: measured with numbers Polygenic Traits Correct Answer: Affected by many genes with no gene having an overriding influence. - EX: Growth rate, milk production, ribeye area Typically quantitative or continuous in expression. - Phenotypes are usually described by numbers Greatly influenced by environment Examples of Sim...

The independent variable - in an experiment is the one thing that is varied between experimental groups. The effect of the independent variable is typically what is being analyzed. In the situation described, the independent variable is the method by which the passage is presented to the test subjects, either aurally or visually. continuous variation - Human skin color, height, and weight are influenced by many genes as well as environmental factors. When the frequency in a population o...
