Mutation and variation - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

what are two factors that contribute to phenotype? Correct Answer-genotype and environment species Correct Answer-individuals that are able to exchange genetic material gene pool Correct Answer-all alleles present in individuals of that species populations Correct Answer-interbreeding groups of organisms of the same species living in the same geographical area what are two main sources that lead to genetic variation? Correct Answer-mutation and recombination what can somatic mutat...

how many species live in planet Earth? - ANSWER-unknown-roughly 3 to 5 million why is life so incredibly diverse, yet so strangely similar? - ANSWER-organisms can contain similar features. planes have wings, birds have wings-this feature is useful for different things (different for penguins, pelicans, bats, eagles) true or false: biodiversity on earth will likely decrease in the near future? - ANSWER- true or false: scientists believe in evolution even though they currently lack eviden...

Wilhelm Wundt - correct answers created the term "psychology", godfather of psych structuralism - correct answers analyze consciousness into basic elements and investigate how they're related introspection - correct answers careful self-evaluation of conscious experience functionalism - correct answers investigate function of purpose of consciousness rather than structure natural selection - correct answers some variation due to enviornment genotype variation - correct answers ...

What are the elements of scientific inquiry? correct answers Observation Question Hypothesis Predictions Experimental/Observational Study Analyze Results Conclusion Control group correct answers Must be in the same environment as the experimental group Matched with the experimental group except for one experimental variable Evolution correct answers life on Earth changing over time change in allele frequencies in a population over time What mechanisms can cause evolutionary chan...

Lesson 1: Foundations to Set the Stage - Correct answerFocusing on Cellular Structure and Function - Correct answerThe Normal Cell Cycle - Correct answer--The cell cycle refers to the ordered seres of processes of DNA replication and mitosis, or cell division -Cell nucleus regulates these processes by gathering and processing complexes molecular information Interphase and Mitotic Phase - Correct answer-Cell division produces two identical cells through these two major phases During interph...
