Semester 2: Biology Vocabulary Dominant - A comparative term, where one allele is expressed over the other True Breeding- The process of breeding of two organisms with an identical phenotype to procreate an organism with the same phenotype Recessive ? A comparative term, where one allele is not expressed over the other Sexual selection ? A process where mate is chosen based on certain characteristics or traits Homologous structures ? Structures that appear to be similar in different organisms, suggesting a common ancestry or an evolutionary origin. Selective breeding ? A process of breeding for a particular genetic trait Derived structures ? Structures that appear in the ancestor of a group or species, but do not appear in the other species.

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 1 Introduction: Themes in the Study of Life This introductory chapter explores the basic themes and concepts of biology, with emphasis on the core theme of evolution. It also introduces students to the thinking of scientists. Questions are therefore general; however, an effort has been made to include some from each skill level. As in the rest of this test bank, questions that feature art or those for which several questions follow upon some data or a scenario are placed together at the end of the chapter. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) A localized group of organisms that belong to the same species is called a A) biosystem. B) community. C) population. D) ecosystem. E) family. Answer: C Topic: Concept 1.1

August 2013 Chapter 23 The Evolution of Populations 23.1 Population genetics provides a foundation for studying evolution Darwin and Mendel were contemporaries of the 19th century At the time both were unappreciated for their work Microevolution ? the generation-to-generation change in the population?s frequencies on alleles The Modern Synthesis The turning point for revolutionary theory was the development of population genetics Population Genetics ? Study on how a population changes over time Emphasizes genetic variation and recognizes the importance of quantitative characters Gene Pools and Allele Frequencies A population?s gene pool is defined by it?s allele frequencies (quantity of alleles in a population) Population ? a group of organism that belong to the same species

Darwin?s Finches: HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES Copyright 2006 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College Arkhat Abzhanov checks out a selection of Darwin's finches preserved in the Harvard Museum of Natural History. He and his colleagues discovered a molecule that controls the length of the birds' beaks, which enhance their ability to survive on available seeds and insects.
