This book published in 1859
set off a controversy still
lively today.
A 100
What is “The Origin of
Species”?
A 100
A rival theory that
characteristics acquired
during a lifetime could be
passed on to offspring was
proposed by this man.
A 200
Who is Lamarck?
A 200
This phrase refers to Darwin’s
idea that all organisms have
descended from a common
ancestor.
A 300
What is descent with
modification?
A 300
This term describes the idea
that though a bat wing, an
elephant foot and a person’s
hand look different outside,
they look very similar inside
and are derived from a
common ancestor.
A 400
What is homologous?
A 400
The evolutionarily left over
but unused structures, like the
human appendix or leg bones
in whales are called this.
A 500
What is vestigial?
A 500
Change in the genetic
makeup of a population.
B 100
What is microevolution?
B 100
Greater in small populations
than large ones, the
unpredictable fluctuation in
allele frequencies.
B 200
What is genetic drift?
B 200
The result of a few members
of a population surviving a
catostrophic change in the
environement.
B 300
What is the Bottleneck
Effect?
B 300
The result of a few members
of a population becoming
isolated from the original
population and establishing
their own.
B 400
What is the TV show Lost?
No, really, it’s the Founder
Effect
B 400
With this (name and formula
please) it can be determined
whether or not a population is
evolving by checking allele
frequency.
B 500
What is p2 + 2pq + q2 or the
Hardy Weinberg theorem?
B 500
Given credit for describing
evolution as a result of
Natural Selection
C 100
Who is Charles Darwin?
C 100
The condition for traits to
have in order for Natural
Selection to act on them.
C 200
What is heritable?
C 200
Economist responsible for the
idea that populations place
greater demand on resources
than environment can supply.
C 300
Who is Malthus?
C 300
DAILY
Place A Wager
DOUBLE
C 400
Along with Natural Selection
and Genetic Drift, one of the
3 major influences bringing
about Evolutionary change.
C 400
What is Gene Flow?
C 400
Along with stabilizing and
disruptive, one of the three
modes of selection in
adaptive evolution.
C 500
What is directional?
C 500
Evolutionary change at the
species level, like the
appearance of hair or limbs.
D 100
What is macroevolution?
D 100
Indicates species breed at
different times of day or year
and thus prevents them from
mating.
D 200
What is temporal isolation?
D 200
This term refers to a
population forming a new
species because of
geographical isolation from
the parent population.
D 300
What allopatric speciation?
D 300
This term refers to apparent
periods of little evolutionary
change interrupted
periodically by rapid change.
D 400
What is punctuated
equilibrium?
D 400
Sympatric speciation can be
accomplished through nondisjunction in meiosis by
forming these type of plants.
D 500
What is autopolyploid?
D 500
Evolutionary changes above the
species level.
E 100
What is macroevolution?
E 100
These structures evolve for
one purpose but get co-opted
for another.
E 200
What are exaptations.?
E 200
The “control genes” lay out
the general plan for bodies,
i.e., put the head here, put the
tail there.
E 300
What are homeotic or Hox
genes?
E 300
This field of study combines
evolution and developmental
biology to show how small
genetic changes can turn into
large morphological changes.
E 400
What is “Evo-Devo”?
E 400
Refers to the different growth
rates of different body parts,
like the jaw versus the skull.
E 500
What is allometric growth?
E 500
The order of taxonomy between
genus and order.
F 100
What is family?
F 100
Comparing DNA and RNA to
infer evolutionary
relationships.
F 200
What is molecular
systematics.
F 200
A group of species that
includes an ancestral species
and all its descendants.
F 300
What is a clade?
F 300
Each categorization at a level
of classification.
F 400
What is a taxon?
F 400
The idea that the simplest
explanation in line with the
facts should be the first
investigated
F 500
What is maximum
parsimony?
F 500

Evolution
