What is micro-evolution? - Changes in allele frequencies within populations, often associated with adaptation, can be measured from one generation to the next "small changes" What is macro-evolution? - Major changes in the history of life, origin of new species, generates biological diversity "big changes" What is a species? - a group of populations whose members have the potential to interbreed with one another in nature to produce fertile offspring What is allopatric speciation? - ...

NRES 101 Midterm Exam Questions 2024. T/F: Species diversity increases as you approach the equator - correct answer True What are possible reasons why more species occur near the equator - correct answer - More time without geological disruptions (e.g., glaciers) - More niches - Climatic stability - Greater biological productivity What is speciation - correct answer The formation of two species from one ancestral species What factors lead to speciation - correct answer - natural sel...

In which of the following examples would sepeciation most likely occur? A) Two populations of oak trees begin releasing pollen at different times of the year, one in the spring and the other in the fall B) Unseasonably warm temperatures cause an unusual low pressure zone over the Caribbean leading to a hurricane that eradicates a population of parrots on the island of Saba C) The Fukushima nuclear power plant fails and leaks radioactive water into the ocean causing sterility among an entire p...

Bio 100 Exam 3 (Jaeger UNLV) Questions and Answers 100% Pass **Explain biotic potential.** Most populations can produce more offspring than the environment can support. **Define heritable.** Traits that can be passed on to the next generation. **Describe the concept of evolution of acquired characters.** Over time, an organism can accumulate enough changes that one species may diverge into two, tracing back through ancestral species. **List the five agents of evolution.** Nat...

Natural Selection - Answer A theory in which individuals with certain traits produce more offspring than others without these traits. Evolution - Answer The gradual change in a species over time. Adaptation - Answer When the heritable trait increases an individuals fitness in a particular environment. Ancestral trait - Answer Is a character that existed in an ancestor. Derived trait - Answer Is one that is a modified form of the ancestral trait, found in a descendants....

AP Biology Exam Questions and Answers Graded A+ What are the 2 theories of evolution? Explain each 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? Lamarck = Inheritance of Acquired characteristics- traits acquired during lifetime could be passed on What is natural selection Comptetition for limited resources re...

A certain species of sea otters lives off the coast of Alaska. Some have the ability to tolerate the colder waters farther north while others stay in the central coastal area. As a result of a large oil spill along the northern coast, most of the otters living in those colder waters die. Afterwards, the population of otters, in general, is now less tolerant of cold water. What is this an example of? A.) allopatric speciation B.) hybrid sterility C.) bottleneck effect D.) sympatric specia...
