Who Am I? Choose among these terms to answer the riddles below: behavioral isolation geographic isolation temporal isolation normal distribution punctuated equilibrium 1. I separate populations with factors of time, such as when one population reproduces in the spring and another reproduces in the summer. 2. I look like a bell-shaped curve, having the highest frequency in the middle. 3. I separate populations with physical barriers so that members of each population no longer have contact with each other. 5. I am a pattern of evolution that is seen in the fossil record; I consist of short periods with lots of evolutionary activity, followed by long periods with much less evolutionary activity 6.I separate populations with different courtship or mating rituals ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ _____________ Copyright © McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin Company. Biology 1 The Evolution of Populations Name: _____________________________ Class: __________________ Date: __________________ Vocabulary Practice continued B. Word Origins Circle the Greek and Latin word parts in each vocabulary term. Then use the Greek and Latin meanings to construct a very basic definition of the vocabulary word. co- = together converge = to come together from different directions diverge = to go in different directions from a common point micro- = small WORD DEFINITION 1. coevolution 2. convergent evolution 3. divergent evolution 4. microevolution C. Choose the Correct Word In each set of questions, choose the word from the word box that best fits each statement. normal distribution directional selection stabilizing selection disruptive selection 1. Occurs when natural selection selects for individuals with the intermediate phenotype 2. Occurs when natural selection is not acting on a population for a certain trait 3. Occurs when natural selection selects for individuals with one extreme phenotype 4. Occurs when natural selection selects for individuals with both extreme phenotypes _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ Copyright © McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin Company. Biology 2 The Evolution of Populations Name: _____________________________ Class: __________________ Date: __________________ Vocabulary Practice continued reproductive isolation behavioral isolation geographic isolation temporal isolation 5. Species from two populations are separated by physical barriers _______________________________ 6. Species from two populations can no longer mate successfully, for any reason _______________________________ 7. Species from two populations are separated due to differences in courtship or mating rituals 8. Species from two populations are separated due to differences in the timing of their reproduction _______________________________ _______________________________ microevolution convergent evolution coevolution divergent evolution 9. Process in which two species evolve in response to changes in each other, over many generations _______________________________ 10. Process in which unrelated species evolve similar traits while adapting to similar environments. _______________________________ 11. Process in which closely related species become more and more different as they adapt to different environments _______________________________ 12. Process which can occur over a few generations, in which a population’s allele frequencies change in any way _______________________________ Copyright © McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin Company. Biology 3 The Evolution of Populations Name: _____________________________ Class: __________________ Date: __________________ Vocabulary Practice continued D. Do-It Yourself Matching In a random order, write short definitions for each term on the blank lines to the right. Then give your paper to a classmate who should write the number of the term next to the correct definition. 1. adaptive radiation _____ _____________________________________ 2. gene pool _____ _____________________________________ 3. directional selection _____ _____________________________________ 4. stabilizing selection _____ _____________________________________ 5. disruptive selection _____ _____________________________________ 6. speciation _____ _____________________________________ E. Analogies Read each analogy. Decide which term is most like it. allele frequency extinction gene pool normal distribution geographic isolation 1. Long, flat surfaces interrupted by short, steep steps 2. Medium clothing sizes being the most common in a department store 3. A radio station that goes off the air 4. How often a certain letter-number combination is called during bingo 5. A phone book that contains all of the phone numbers of everyone in a city 6. Sound-proof glass that prevents people from hearing each other punctuated equilibrium _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ Copyright © McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin Company.
