Review for Final •To review all objectives from chapter 7-13 and 16-17 •To review all the vocabulary words from chapter 7-13 and 16-17 Define Population • A group of organisms of the same species that live in a specific area and interbreed Define Species • A group of organisms that are closely related and naturally mate to produce fertile offspring Define Evolution • A change over time; a change of the characteristics of a population over many generations Define Homologous – Similar, but not identical • Homologous chromosomes – chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes, that have the same structure, and that pair during meiosis Define Homologous Structure • Anatomical structures that have a common ancestry Define Analogous • Similarities that arise through convergent evolution b/c the organisms live in similar habitats. – Sharks (fish) and whales (mammals) Define Vestigial Structure • A structure in an organism that is reduced in size and function. This may have been complete and functional in the organisms ancestors. Define Heredity • The passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring Define Dominant Gene • The gene that is going to expressed (shown) in the offspring • Normally the allele with the capital letter Yellow is dominant over green Expressed as “Aa or AA” Define Recessive Gene • The gene that is not seen if a dominant gene is present but can be passed on in genes (masked) • Normally in lower case letters Green is recessive to yellow Expressed as “Aa or aa” 10.Who was considered the “Father of Genetics”? • The father of genetics was Gregor Mendel. • Austrian monk born in 1822 • Used true-breeding pea plants which always pass on the same characteristics to the next generation. • Carefully planned experiments to test blending hypothesis of heredity 11. Differentiate between phenotype and genotype • Phenotype: is the physical appearance of the organism in genetics – EX. FF freckles • Genotype: is the genetic make up of the organisms typically represented with letters 12. Explain the difference between homozygous and heterozygous genotype • Homozygous: “homo” means the same in Latin: individuals that have identical alleles for a trait – Ex. EE (homozygous dominant) ee (homozygous recessive) • Heterozygous: “hetero” means different in Latin; individuals that have different alleles for a trait – Ex. Ee (heterzygous) 13. State and describe the Law of Independent Assortment • The law that states that genes on different chromosomes separate independently of one another in meiosis 14.

How do mutations in DNA occur and why are they important? (Positive and Negative) • Types of mutations: – Point mutations : deletion, insertion, & substitution – Gene mutations: deletion, insertion,duplication, inversion and translocation • Positive: they give rise to diversity in the population of a species (THINK: Sneaker Male Iguana) • Negative: they can give the population a deadly gene (THINK: Huntington’s, Parkinson’s and Mental Retardation) 24. Where did Darwin conduct much of his research? • Galapagos Islands 25. Describe the idea of natural selection as witnessed by Darwin? Darwin observed that each island had a population of finches. The finches looked different from one another,but had many similarities. The beaks were the biggest difference. If the birds were on a island with small seeds (wet season) their beaks were small. If the birds were on a island with large seeds (dry season) their beaks were small The birds with the appropriate beak size for the island’s food supply survived. 26. How does natural selection help to drive a species to change over a long period of time? • With natural selection if the environment changes sometimes a trait that was favorable will now be unfavorable. • Example: Darwin’s Finches – Beak size and food availability 27. List the different types of fossils Trace fossil or Imprinting: the outline in a rock of an organism or a trace left by an organism Body Fossil: preserved or mineralized remains of an organism 28.How do vestigial structure help to support the theory of evolution? • You an compare the structures that are shared between species that may not seemed related. • The fact that they have the same basic structure solidifies the facts that they had a common ancestor 29. How are the amino acids and DNA sequences used to support the idea behind evolution? • You can compare the DNA/amino acid sequence between species that may not seemed related • The fact that they have a similar DNA/Amino Acids sequence solidifies the fact that they had a recent common ancestor • The greater the differences, the more distantly related. 30. How does competition help to drive evolution? • Competition arises b/c of limited resources such as food, shelter, suitable mates. • Those w/ adaptations that make them more fit will survive, reproduce more successfully and pass on their genes in the process.

Define Haploid 32.Define Diploid • Haploid – A cell that has only one set of chromosomes. Example – gamete (egg or sperm) • Diploid – A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes. • Example – somatic cells • zygote (fertilized egg) 33.
