6371307409Carolus Linnaeus-physician and botanist who sought to classify life's diversity -binomial nomenclature (Homo sapien) -nested classification system, placing similar species into general characters0
6371307410Fossils-darwin drew from these (the remains or traces of organisms from the past)1
6371307411Strata-new layers of sediment cover older ones and compress them into layers of rock called strata -strata reveal the pattern of evolution that a species may take2
6371307412Paleontology-study of fossils, developed by Georges Cuvier 0noted that the older the stratum the more dissimilar fossils were to current life-forms -from one layer to the next, new species appeared while others disappeared -each boundary represented a sudden catastrophic event3
6371307413Charles Lyell-incorporated Hutton's thinking into his proposal that the same geologic processes are operating today as in the past, and at the same rate4
6371307414Jean-Baptiste Lamarck-found several lines of descent, a chronological series of older to younger fossils leading to a living species -use and disuse (giraffes' neck)5

6371307417Artificial Selection-modification of other species over many generations by selecting and breeding individuals with desired traits8
6371307418Darwin's 2 Inferenences-All species and produce more offspring than their enviorment can support and many of these offspring fail to survive and reproduce -This unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce will lead to the accumulation of favorable traits in the population over generations9
6371307419Homology-similarity resulting from common ancestry10
6371307420Homologous Structures-represent variations on a structural theme that was present in a common ancestor11
6371307421Vestigal Structures-remnants of features that served a function in the organism's ancestors12
6371307422Convergent Evolution-independent evolution of similar features in different lineages -ex: marsupials and sugar glider (same environment) -can occur when similar environmental pressures and natural selection exists13
6371307423Analogous-species share features b/c of convergent evolution, share similar function but not common ancesty14
6371307424Biogeography-scientific study of the geographic distributions of species15

6371307440Shared Derived Character-evolutionary novelty unique to a clade31
6371307441Outgroup-species or group of species from an evolutionary lineage that is known to have diverged before the lineage including the species32
6371307442Maximum Parsimony-we should first investigate the simplest explanation that is consistent with the facts33
6371307443Molecular Clock-an approach for measuring the absolute time of evolutionary change based on the observation that some gens and other regions of genomes appear to evolve at constant rates34
6371307444Microevolution-a change in allele frequencies in a population over generations35
6371307445Genetic Variation-differences among individuals in the composition of their genes or other DNA sequences36

6371307448Hardy-Weinberg Conditions-no mutations -random mating -no natural selection -very large population size -no gene flow39
6371307449Genetic Drift-chance events can alter allele allele frequencies to fluctuate from one generation to another (especially in one generation to another)40
6371307450Founder Effect-when few individuals become isolated from a larger population this smaller group may make a new population whose gene pool differs from the source population41
6371307451Bottleneck Effect-a severe drop in population results in the over or under representation of certain alleles.42
6371307452Gene Flow-transfer of allele into or out of a population from the movement of fertile individuals or their gametes43
6371307453Effects of Genetic Drift-Genetic Drift is significant in small populations -Genetic drift can cause allele frequencies to change at random -Genetic drift can lead to a loss of genetic variation within populations -Genetic drift can cause harmful alleles to become fixed44

Need Notes?

While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
