1462155248Structure of a VirusAll viruses have 2 basic parts: a protein coat that protects the virus and an inner core(where there is Genetic Material). The proteins on a virus are what allows them to get inside the cell after matching with the membrane proteins on the cells membrane envelope.72
1462155249How do viruses cause infection (lysogenic and lytic infection)They infect the host cell with their genetic information, prophage, which either immediately recreate in the cell and make it burst from copies of itself (lytic) or may replicate for many generations within the cell and later turn to a lytic infection (lysogenic)73

1462214403What are the three patterns of biodiversity noted by Charles Darwin?Species vary globally: different yet ecologically similar, animal species inhabited separated, but ecologically similar habitats around the globe (ex: rabbits and kangaroos) Species vary locally: different, yet related, animal species often occupied different habitats within a local area (ex birds varying slightly from island to island) Species vary over time: some fossils of extinct animals were similar to living species (ex. glyptodon fossils resembled modern armadillos)108
1462214404EvolutionChange in a kind of organism over time; process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms.109
1462214405FossilA preserved remnant or impression of an organism that lived in the past.110
1462214406HuttonEarth: was extremely old (deep time) and was transformed by slow change111
1462214407LyellUniformitarianism: laws of nature are constant over time, scientists must explain past-events in terms of process they can observe in the present112
1462214408MalthusIf human population grew and there was not enough living space and food for everyone (carrying capacity) then only the most fit to survive would live and reproduce113
1462214409Lamark's theory of evolution (and compare it to Darwin's theory)organisms can change during their lifetime by selectively using (or not using) body parts and then pass along these changes to their offspring; this explained evolution through natural processes and suggested that species were not fixed (they could change)114
1462214410Artificial selectionSelection by humans for breeding of useful traits from the natural variation among different organisms115
1462214411Explain Darwin's proposed mechanism of evolution: natural selection (and it's three points)1: struggle for existence: more organisms are born than can survive so there's competition and some must die 2: Variation and adaptation: individual organisms have natural variations among their heritable traits, adaptations are variations that increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment 3: Survival of the fittest: fitness: how well an organism can survive and REPRODUCE116
1462214412Struggle for existencecompetition among members of a species for food, living space, and the other necessities of life117
1462214413Variation & adaptationVariation: any range of variation among organisms Adaptation: anything about an organism that aids in their survival (best adaptations survive better)118
1462214414Survival of the fittestProcess by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; also called natural selection119
1462214415AdaptationA trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce120
1462214416FitnessAbility of an organism to survive and REPRODUCE in its environment121

1462214422Explain the following evidence of evolution: homologous structuresinherited from a RECENT (biologically speaking) common ancestor, show common ancestor, closely related but dissimilar127
1462214423Explain the following evidence of evolution: analogous structuresShows environments favor, look similar, have common function, distantly related but similar, no evolutionary relationship, not a common structure128
1462214424Explain the following evidence of evolution: vestigial structuresinherited from ancestors but lost much (or all) of their original function, different selection pressures129
1462214425Explain the following evidence of evolution: molecular evidence (DNA)1: all living organisms use DNA->RNA-> protein 2: homologous molecules: DNA sequences so similar they must have derived from same ancestral gene or protein130
1462214426Biogeographystudy of where organisms live now and where they and their ancestors lived in the past131
1462214427Homologous structureStructures in different species that are similar because of common ancestry. (ex:human, dog, bird, whale)132
