| Review cheat sheet
|
Use these questions to make an efficient cheat sheet. Remember..adapt or die! | |
| 2 | Adaptions | · What do desirable adaptions allow a species to do?
· Variations in a population are usually the result of what? · What is an inheritable trait? · What is a species and how is it formed?
|
| Fossils | · What two species could be an example of a grassland animals in two different geographic zones that look similar and that show convergence? Think of pouches and antlers.
|
|
| Indirect proof | · If chicken embryo’s look like rabbit embryo’s then what is the indirect proof to show these two species may be related?
· What is the concept of biochemical evidence based upon?
|
|
| · How does sexual reproduction help evolution verses asexual reproduction?
( which makes more diversity/) · What is an isolation barrier that cannot be overcome?(see above)
|
||
| 3 | Evolution mechanisms | · What is the basic meaning for the term “evolution’?
· What is “fixity of species”? · What was the original source of variation within the English peppered moth? · If an inheritable variation produces a structural or physiological adaption, what must that adaption allow the species to do?
|
| Lamarck | · What are Lamarck’s two laws?
· What words would be used in a question that would show consistency with Lamarck · What is the majour weakness in Lamarck’s theory?
|
|
| Darwin | · In Darwin’s theory of evolution, what source of change did Darwin not use nor was he aware of?
· Why would the word’s “survive and produce” be associated with Darwin’s arguments about the mechanisms for evolution. · In Darwin’s theory, what is the force with changes the species trait like the long neck of a giraffe? · What is not explained in Darwin’s theory of evolution? · In Darwin’s first portion of his argument what concept did he borrow from Malthus? · You need to know all six steps of Darwin’s argument and show examples. · Can you compare statements that would support or challenge both Darwin and Lamark’s theories of evolution.

| Short Answer Topics | 1) What are four categories of indirect or direct evidence. (Describe and discuss)
2) What are five reasons why fossil records are sometimes difficult to interpret.
3) Using the concept of speciation, isolation mechanisms and Darwin’s theory, explain why there are 14 species of finches in the Galopagos Islands. |
