Define hypoosmotic, hyperosmotic, and isomotic 1. Has a lower concentration of solutes than its surrounding enviorment 2. Has a higher concentration of solutes than i...

What is microevolution? - The change in allele frequencies that occurs over time within a population. What is macroevolution? - Major evolutionary changes over time, the origin of new types of organisms from previously existing, but different, ancestral types. What is a species? - A group of populations whose members possess similar anatomical characteristics and have the ability to interbreed. What is allopatric speciation? - The formation of a new species in populations that are geographi...

Darwin’s theory of evolution is a strong theory, but at the time of proposing the theory, some aspects were yet to be explained. Which of the following things below did Darwin understand and incorporate into his theory? a. That inherited variations could increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce b. How chromosomes were inherited c. That genetic mutation could be responsible for making new alleles d. That genes were the templates for making proteins a. That inherited varia...

Adaptive Radiation - An evolutionary pattern in which many species evolve from a single ancestral species Allele - An alternative form of a gene. Allele Frequency - Number of times that an allele occurs in a gene pool in comparison to the total number of alleles allopatric speciation - The formation of new species in populations that are geographically isolated from one another. allopolyploidy - a species with multiple sets of chromosomes derived from different species Alpha (origination...

Convergent vs Divergent Evolution - ANSWER -Divergent: one broad class but because of different features they diverge -Convergent: similar features between 2 different classes Punctuated Equilibrium vs Gradualism - ANSWER -Punctuated: concrete & defined phenotypes -Gradualism: phenotypes gradually evolve Speciation - ANSWER Formation of new species 1) Allopatric: separated by geographical barrier (mountain, ocean, river) -Barrier divides species 1 and species 2 2) Parapatric...

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.

Natural selection - ANSWER Process that determines which individuals will pass on their genes to the next generation Evolution - ANSWER the changes that we see in the genes and characteristics displayed by successive generations of a population Speciation - ANSWER the production of a new species from a previously existing species Allopatric speciation - ANSWER separated by land Sympatric speciation - ANSWER speciation in the same area; exploiting unused resources causes them to becom...
