  1. a describes the details of how populations of organisms change from generation to generation and how new species originate
  2. b mechanisms that cause sympatric speciation BEFORE zygote can be formed
  3. c describes patterns of change in groups of related species over broad periods of geologic time
  4. d use and disuse determine passing on of traits
  5. e prezygotic barrier that occurs when male gametes do not survive and fertilize female gametes

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. the evolutionary relationships among species and groups of species
  2. relative ability to durvive
  3. studies of fossils - supports evolution
  4. mechanisms that prevent organisms from surviving and reproducing to continue isolation
  5. reveals similar stages in development among related species

5 True/False Questions

  1. temporal isolationprezygotic isolator that occurs when a species does not recognize another species as a mating partner because it does not perform the correct courtship rituals

          

  2. hybrid inviabilitywhen zygote fails to develop properly and aborts

          

  3. behavioral isolationprezygotic isolator that occurs when a species does not recognize another species as a mating partner because it does not perform the correct courtship rituals

          

  4. habitat isolationprezygotic isolator that functions when species do not encounter each other

          

  5. heterozygote advantagemating with nonrelated partners, increases mixing of different alleles and facilitates evolution
