Evolution: Review Guide A large portion of this test will be true/false and multiple choice. There will be an essay question section. Review selected essays for some ideas on what the essay question may be. Readings Chapter 17 20. Chapter 32 (Human Evolution) ”Contrivances: A Panda’s Thumb” ”How Females Choose Their Mates” A Big Fat Word List Adaptation Peppered Moths Archaeopteryx Analogous Structures Competition Ambulocetus Artificial Selection Symbiosis “Good Genes” hypothesis Coevolution Predation Handicap Principle Convergent Evolution Kin Selection Primate Evolution Extinction Binocular Vision Creationism Speciation Grasping hands Fossil Allopatric Speciation Hominid Homologous Structures Sympatric Speciation Australopithecus Acquired Characteristics Geographical Isolation Homo habilis Natural Selection Premating Isolating Mechanism Homo erectus Population Homo sapiens Species Postmating Isolation Mechanism Neanderthal Vestigial Structures Courtship rituals Cro-Magnon Common Ancestor Phyletic Speciation “Out of Africa” Hypothesis Scala Naturae Divergent Speciation Multiregional Hypothesis Charles Darwin Morphology Lucy Galapagos Islands Gradualism Panda’s Thumb Finches Punctuated Equilibrium Phylogeny Gene Pool Temporal Isolation Paleontology Population Genetics Spontaneous Generation “The Origin of Species” Mutation Precambrian Explosion Equilibrium Population Era/Period Genetic Drift Prebiotic evolution Population Bottleneck Louis Pasteur Founder Effect Stanley Miller Apparatus Sexual Selection Prokaryote Directional Selection Eukaryote Stabilizing Selection Endosymbiotic Hypothesis Disruptive Selection Lobe-finned fish Food for Thought 1. Describe the history of evoluationary thought, from Aristotle's "Scala Naturae" to Lamarke to Darwin & Wallace's Theory. 2. What observations did Darwin make that lead him to the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection? 3. Distinguish between homologous structures, analogous structures and vestigial structures. 4. Give examples of observed evolution. 5. What evidence supports the Theory of Evolution? 6. Why is creationism not considered to be a scientific theory? 7. Why do small populations tend to evolve faster than larger populations (see genetic drift)? 8. Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. 9. What criteria would need to be met in order for a population to NOT evolve? 10. What are transitional fossils? Give examples. 11. How does sexual selection and predation affect guppy coloration? 12. What is the difference between evolution and speciation? 13. How was spontaneous generation disproven? 14. Desribe several ways (types of selection) populations can be influenced to change. 15. Compare allopatric to sympatric speciation 16. Define species. How do we know when organisms are in the same species? 17. What can cause one species to evolve into two different species. (divergent speciation) 18. What can cause one species to accumulate so many changes that new populations are distinct from older populations. (phyletic speciation) 19. Create a timeline showing the hominid fossils and populations. 20. Describe each group of hominids. How do we know what we know about them. 21. What hypotheses explain why female guppies (or females of any species) to choose flashy mates. 22. What prevents interbreeding between individuals of different species? 23. Compare gradualism to punctuated equilibrium. Which is most likely the correct model? 24. How do fossils show evidence of evolution. 25. What is the "Out of Africa" hypothesis? A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words -each picture below represents some aspect or concept of evolution.
