🗑
What happens to a population if a phenotype is produced that is not a selective advantage?   show
🗑
show populations evolve  
🗑
What evolutionary factor prevents individuals from mating?   show
🗑
What prezygotic mechanism is characterized by species living in different areas separated by terrestrial and aquatic barriers?   show
🗑
show Temporal isolation  
🗑
What prezygotic mechanism is characterized by individuals that mate only in certain preferred habitat?   show

🗑
show Mechanical isolation  
🗑
show Gametic incompatibility  
🗑
What evolutionary factor causes genomic incompatibility, hybrid inviability and/or sterility?   show
🗑

🗑
What postzygotic mechanism is characterized by the hybrid forming, but is not viable?   show
🗑
show Hybrid sterility  
🗑
What postzygotic mechanism is characterized by the first generation hybrids are viable and fertile, but further hybrid generations are inviable or sterile?   show
🗑
show Genetic drift  
🗑
Genetic drift tends to reduce genetic variation. Why is this a problem?   show
🗑
show Because it tends to happen most often in rare and endangered species

🗑
What type of genetic drift occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of a population?   show

🗑
What type of evolutionary structures are derived from a common ancestor or same evolutionary or developmental origin?   show
🗑
show Analogous structures  
🗑
show vestigial

🗑
show Analogous  
🗑
show 1. a tail 2. buds that become limbs 3. pharyngeal pouches (gill slits)

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
