CHAPTER 12 OUTLINE • When did Darwin publish? with what focus? 1. 18592. worldwide biodiversity, patterns • What is an example of natural selection? 1. bacteria and insects • What is adaptation?1. change to overcome a problem • What is descent with modification?1. one species descends from another2. changes over time • Are bones the only evidence of evolution?1. comparative anatomy, comparative embryology2. DNA and proteins • Why were Darwin’s finches so important?1. mainland origins2. competition for limited food
What is the struggle for existence?1. competition to survive • What are heritable traits that give advantages?1. genes passed from one generation to another2. affect survival and/or reproduction • How is natural selection a numbers game?1. 2 x 2 x 2 < 10 x 10 x 10; 8 < 1000 • What is the ultimate source of genetic variation?1. mutation2. shuffle the deck • What is a gene pool?1. combined alleles of every individual in a population • What are the four causes of microevolution?1. Genetic Drift2. Gene Flow3. Mutation4. Natural Selection
