Review topics from notes:

Lamarck’s Principle of “felt needs,” use and disuse, and
inheritance of acquired traits

Cuvier and catastrophism, Lyell and uniformitarianism

Darwin’s natural selection (differential reproductive
success)

3 patterns of natural selection (stabilizing, directional,
diversifying)

Five conditions necessary for Hardy-Weinberg
equilibrium (no nat. sel, no genetic drift, no gene flow,
random mating, not mutations)

Populations evolve (not individuals)

Hardy-Weinberg problems

Species definition

Geographical isolation and adaptive radiation (contrast
with convergent evolution)

Convergent evolution and analogous structures

Homologous structures, vestigial structures, analogous
structures

Types of prezygotic barriers (habitat, temporal,
behavioral, mechanical, gametic)

Types of postzygotic barriers (hybrid inviability, hybrid
sterility)

Sympatric speciation vs. allopatric speciation

Binomial nomenclature, Heirarchy of 7 taxa
(K,P,C,O,F,G,S), cladograms

Atmosphere of early earth vs. today’s atmosphere

Miller apparatus (started with H20, CH4, H2, and
NH3 created amino acids, etc)
1. A monophyletic taxon includes only species that share
a common ancestor.
2. The more the sequences of amino acids in
homologous proteins vary, the more recently the two
species have diverged.
3. Phylogenetic trees determined on the basis of similar
structures may be inaccurate when adaptive radiations
have created large differences or when convergent
evolution has created misleading analogies.
4. A cladogram represents both the chronology and the
age of evolutionary branches, as well as the degree of
divergence between taxa.
5. Phylogenetic trees designed with the concept of
parsimony should show the most likely evolutionary
relationships.
6. Carbon-14 dating is not a good technique for
sequencing fossils from the Carboniferous period (363290 mya) because carbon is too abundant in that
period to allow accurate dating.
7. The strongest support for a phylogenetic hypothesis
comes from the concurrence of molecular and
morphological evidence.
