LD BIO CHAPTER 28 EVOLUTION

        Help!  

Term
Definition
show The gradual change of allele frequencies found in a population  
🗑
ORGANIC EVOLUTION   show
🗑
show Is the slow change of Earth over time  
🗑
HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES   show
🗑
show In different organisms, have similar function, but different internal structures or embryonic development  
🗑
show Fossils, Bones that show how organisms are similar, and Continents fit together like pieces of a puzzle & share the same rock formations with the same fossils and organisms  
🗑
show Nonfunctional structures that are rem ants of structures that were functional in ancestral form of organs. (Ex: wisdom teeth, muscles that move ears)  
🗑
show Any trace or remains of an organism that has been preserved by natural processes. (Ex: soft tissue of animals usually decays, but in amber & ice they do not).  
🗑
AMBER   show
🗑
ICE   show
🗑
PETRIFICATION   show
🗑
show Shells, teeth, and dinosaur bones. (Ex: Saber-toothed tiger & wooly mammoth).  
🗑
show An organism dies at the bottom of lakes or seas and sinks into the mud or sand which later turns to rock. The organism decays leaving a hollow form of its shape.  
🗑
show Form when the molds fill with minerals and harden to form rock; a copy of the organism forms.  
🗑
show The impressions made in mud and then hardens into rock (Ex: animal footprints & leaves)  
🗑
WAYS TO CALCULATE AGE OF FOSSILS   show
🗑
show Any method of determining the order in which events occurred. (Ex: determine age in relation to other rocks by using index fossils or correlation)  
🗑
show Top layer of sedimentary rock  
🗑
show Bottom layer of sedimentary rock  
🗑
ABSOLUTE DATING   show
🗑
RADIOACTIVE DATING   show
🗑
show A type of rock formed from layers of particles that settled to the bottom of a body of water, often containing fossils  
🗑
show The history of life as determined by the relative age of fossils  
🗑
show Formed when molten material in the crust cooled and hardened. Can be dated using radioactive dating methods.  
🗑
CORRELATION   show
🗑
INDEX FOSSILS   show
🗑
show A timetable of the earth's history constructed by geologists  
🗑
EXTINCT   show
🗑
FROM ROCKS AND FOSSILS   show
🗑
EVIDENCE FROM COMPARATIVE CYTOLOGY   show
🗑
show Physiology, biochemistry, cytochrome c in humans & chimpanzees is same, but differs in bread mold, & insulin from sheep & pigs is same for humans.  
🗑
PHYSIOLOGY   show
🗑
show How chemical reactions take place (ex: enzyme test)  
🗑
COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OR HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE   show
🗑
show Same function but different origin and structure (ex: wings of fly (has membranes) vs. bird (has bones)...Both used to fly.  
🗑
show Antibody reactions to protein or viruses may act the same.  
🗑
show All embryos look similar at first and then differentiate and evolve.  
🗑
show Structures that remain but have no function (ex: Coccyx - fused bone (tail))  
🗑
SPONTANEOUS GENERATION   show
🗑
BIOGENESIS   show
🗑
show The hypothesis that the first organic compounds were formed by natural chemical processes on the primitive earth and that the first lifelike structures developed from coacervates and were heterotrophs.  
🗑
COACERVATES   show
🗑


   

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.
