Adaptive radiation - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Darwin’s theory of evolution is a strong theory, but at the time of proposing the theory, some aspects were yet to be explained. Which of the following things below did Darwin understand and incorporate into his theory? a. That inherited variations could increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce b. How chromosomes were inherited c. That genetic mutation could be responsible for making new alleles d. That genes were the templates for making proteins a. That inherited varia...

Acquired immunity - Develops after exposure to microbes, toxins, and/or foreign substances Active Immunity - Microbe introduced into the body to stimulate a response to a certain disease Adaptive Radiation - Divergence of a group into species adapted to many ecological niches Adrenal Gland - Regulate hormones of Fight or flight Alimentary system - System involved in the acquisition of nutrients from food Alimentary System - System involved in the acquisition of nutrients from food Ametabol...

3 transfers of DNA - Transformation: bacteria takes up naked DNA Transduction: a virus transfers the genes Conjugation: a hollow tube, or pilus transfers genes between organisms A population has 700 individuals, 85 of genotype AA, 320 of genotype Aa, and 295 of genotype aa. What are the allele frequencies of A (p) and a (q)? A. p = 0.58, q = 0.42 B. p = 0.35, q = 0.65 C. p = 0.65, q = 0.35 D. p = 0.50, q = 0.50 - Total number of alleles = 700 x 2 = 1400 p = ((85x2)+320)/1400 = 0.35 q ...
