181 REVIEW ONE SUMMARY STUDY GUIDE Fall 21 Characteristics of life (Sparky the candle?) Scientific methods Observation/Inference Discovery based science Hypothesis based science Falsifiable, testable Controlled experiment Independent and dependent variables, and a control, and controlled variables Graphs- axes, interpretation Hypothesis vs Theory Junk science and pseudoscience- examples and why they aren’t “true” science Evolution Lamarck Darwin Endemic species Wallace Natural selection Descent with modification “survival of the fittest” (what does “fit” mean?) Evidence for evolution- examples of each, and WHY it is evidence for evolution Fossils, sedimentary rock, dating Vestigial structures, atavisms Artificial selection/breeding Comparative anatomy Homologous/analogous; convergent/divergent Biochemical – cytochrome c activity! Embryology Biogeography Microevolution • Caused by: Mutation/ genetic variation Epigenetics?! • Genetic drift- 2 types, examples of each • Gene flow • Natural selection- 3 major types, know graphs Balanced polymorphism • Nonrandom mating- sexual selection- sexual dimorphism Intrasexual vs intersexual (mate choice) Macroevolution/Speciation Species concept used in our class=__? define Ring species Prezygotic vs. postzygotic isolating mechanisms Know types and examples of each Anagenesis vs. cladogenesis (most common?) Allopatric vs. parapatric vs. sympatric speciation (most common?) Adaptive radiation- examples Gradualism vs punctuated equilibrium Evol Wrap-up Antibiotic resistance Dinosaurs, mass extinctions Extinct species History of Earth in 24-hour or 12-month view, age of
