Bio 117 Exam 1 | Questions & 100% Correct Answers (Verified) | Latest Update | Grade A+ Evolution Correct Answer: A change in a population overtime *change = usually a slight modification of traits Vestigial Trait Correct Answer: A trait or characteristic that does not function well or at all How can vestigial traits be used to show change in organisms over time? Correct Answer: They are a trait present in ancestors but no longer useful in living organism. Examples: tail bones in hu...

2 types of lateral meristems: - Cork cambium vascular cambium 2 ways to increase allele diversity/allele frequency distribution: - 1.) gene flow 2.) mutation 3 criteria for designating species: Boys Make Pasta - biological, morphological, phylogenetic Adventitious Root Systems - Roots that emerge from the stem just above ground to help support plants in shallow soils Allopatric Speciation - Separated by some physical barrier Annuals - Angiosperm plants that die off at the end of each yea...

charophytes - (aquatic) green algae land plants evolved from 3 key traits land plants share with charophytes - 1. rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins embedded in plasma membrane 2. formation of a phragmoplast (helps form cell wall) 3. structure of flagellated sperm (not all will have this) adaptations enabling plants' move to land: why? - 1. CO2 2. sunlight 3. soil- nutrients 4. fewer predators/pathogens (never been seen before) adaptations enabling plants' move to land: problems...
