Binghamton Bio 114 exam 2; Questions & Answers…Grade A+ Genetic Drift Correct answer-the constant changing of allele frequencies (that percentage of all alleles any one, or more, allele occupies in a population) in a population over time, due to random mating. Random Mating Correct answer-has the effect of changing how frequently an allele is found in a population. GENETIC DRIFT IS RANDOM, ALWAYS DRIFTING UP AND DOWN bottlenecks Correct answer-where a gene pool is significantly re...

Taxonomic hierarchy - a system of classifying and naming species for the purpose of understanding and establishing relatedness between species or larger groupings Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species What words are used to name the individual type of organism? - Genus and Species Super and Sub prefixes - used to further describe refinement of groupings above and below a certain level 3 criteria for designating species: Boys Make Pasta - biological, morphological, phylogen...

adventituous root - emerges from the stem right above the ground to help support plants in shallow soils allopatric speciation - occurs when subpopulations are separated by some physical barrier. The two subpopulations remain reproductively isolated (no gene flow) and, over time, diverge from each other Angiosperms - Vascular plants with fruit-covered seeds The fruit increases the protection and dispersal of seeds; the largest number of species of all plants. 1. Flower: a major innovation...

Primary Succession - succession from nothing, no soil or vegetation, on bare rock, very slow Secondary Succession - succession from bare soil, there is already an ecosystem there Inhibition Succession - an early arriving species that makes a site less suitable for others Succession from pasture - soil compaction in addition to grazing has flattened land, secondary succession, composed of grasses Succession from tilled land or bare soil - land flattened by farming, no pits, secondary ...

Adaptation - A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce adventitious roots - roots that arise above ground Alleles - Different forms of a gene allopatric speciation - the process of speciation that occurs with geographic isolation Aneuploidy - Abnormal number of chromosomes. Archea - have cell walls that, do not contain peptidoglycan assotative mating - an individual is more likely to mate with another that is similar in phenotype to itself autosomal inheritance - Inheritance o...

Geography - spatial science Themes of Geography - location, place, human-environmental interactions, regions, movement Formal Regions - internal homogeneity Functional Regions - Connectivity Perceptual Regions - boundaries are fluid -- "mental maps" Absolute location - geographical coordinates Relative location - spatial interconnection and interdependence site - characteristics of the place itself situation - how a place is related to other areas (relative location) ...

___ are aquatic producers that create silica shells - Diatoms ___ are pathogenic protists that can cause large skin lesions. - Leishmania ___ are producers that are responsible for half of the C fixation in marine environments. - diatom ___ are thought to be the first organisms to evolve oxygenic photosynthesis - Cyanobacteria 2 specific examples you could provide to convince your friend that these organisms are relevant and/or interesting - ecological impact and use for medical research A...
