punctuated equilibriumA model that assumes that evolution occurs in spurts, between which there are long periods of stasis with little evolutionary change. biological definition of speciesa group of organisms that are reproductively isolated from other such groups Locked speciationrecurrent isolation promotes Adaptive radiationis the phenomenon where one species diverges into many by occupying a series of different habitats within a region character displacementthe process by which rel...

Core Concept: -MOST traits are not based on 1 gene. - Cells in specific tissues such as muscle, determine which genes are active and where they are located during development. - The genome of an organism is represented in each cell. - the key to gene function is the information or instructions to produce proteins. - Mutations occur randomly and are sources of variation. Genetics the study of traits and their inheritance Father of genetics Gregor Mendel; discovered the basic rules of gen...
