Question: This was when Dino’s went extinct Answer 65 million years Question: Structures that have similar embryological origin and structure but are adapted for different purposes (ex: human arm and batwing) Answer: Homologous structures Question: Body parts that have become very reduced over time Answer: What are Vestigial structures Question: The early stages of development in organisms in which there are many similarities among different species. Answer What is Embryology? Question: These are four pieces of evidence for evolution Answer What are fossil record, embryology, homologies, biochemistry Question: This is what DNA stands for Answer What is deoxyribonucleic acid Question: DNA is made of these 3 components Answer What are deoxyribose/pentose sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen-containing base Question: These two nucleotides prefer each other’s company over any other Answer What are A=T /A=U or C=G Question: Mutations in DNA can be one of 3 things: Answer What are Neutral, Positive, Negative Addition, Deletion, Inversion, Translocation, etc. Missense, Nonsense, Neutral Question: Small populations with small gene pools are likely to experience this leading to fixation of alleles Answer What is Genetic Drift Question: A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding Answer What is a species Question: The “profession” and habitat of an organism Answer What is a Niche? Question: The process whereby new species emerged from a primary species Answer What is speciation? Question: Mountain ranges or streams may lead to this type of speciation Answer What is allopatric or speciation by geographical isolation Question: This occurs as new species evolve to fill novel ecological niches in new habitat Answer What is adaptive radiation?
