Semester 2: Biology Vocabulary Dominant - A comparative term, where one allele is expressed over the other True Breeding- The process of breeding of two organisms with an identical phenotype to procreate an organism with the same phenotype Recessive ? A comparative term, where one allele is not expressed over the other Sexual selection ? A process where mate is chosen based on certain characteristics or traits Homologous structures ? Structures that appear to be similar in different organisms, suggesting a common ancestry or an evolutionary origin. Selective breeding ? A process of breeding for a particular genetic trait Derived structures ? Structures that appear in the ancestor of a group or species, but do not appear in the other species.

August 2013 Chapter 22 Descent with Modification A Darwinian View of Life Darwin introduces a new theory Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection on November 24, 1859 It focused on the diversity of organisms Their origins and relationships Their similarities and differences Their geographic distribution Adaptation to surrounding environments Presented evidence that many species from earth are descendants of ancestral species that were different from the modern species Proposed a mechanism for this process, which name is Natural Selection Natural Selection is that a population can change over generations, leaving heritable traits to their breeds, this population can get a lot of changes that can eventually form to a new specie

Heritability appears in many texts in school. Heritability statistics rose from the work of Galton. It is a group statistic that makes no sense to apply to an individual. Heritability is the extent to which differences in the appearance of a trait across several people can be accounted for by differences in their genes. Heritability does not reflect the extent to which traits will be passed down from parent to offspring. The estimates usually come from twin studies. If IQ is very heritable, it means that individuals with the same genes have similar IQs and individuals with different genes have relatively different IQs. Problems arise when what IQ doesn?t mean is considered.

Heredity and Behavior: Is it All in the Genes? Emily Moler Biological makeup is Intimately related to your behavior. Every cell in your body contains enduring messages from your mother and father These are found on the chromosomes that lie within nucleus Chromosomes Strand of DNA that carry genetic information There are 46 in each cell (except for the sex cells) and are found in 23 pairs, each half of the pair comes from either your mom or dad. Fertilization This is when a parent will give their genes to their child. The parents create a zygote, which is a single cell formed by the union of a sperm and an egg. Genes DNA segments that serve as the key functional units in hereditary transmission. They are found on chromosomes. More on Chromosomes
