Document Summary
Use of knowledge / experiences (memory) to decrease the likelihood of negative outcome. Ltp lasting increase in the strength of synaptic transmission. See flowchart for learning process (stimulus through ltm) Virology: classification and evolution, seq natural selection. Interpret phylogeny: virology, seq viral replication cycle, c/c types of replication cycles, c/c viral origin hypotheses. Study of diversity of organisms and evolutionary relationships. Phylogeny evolutionary history of species or group. Binomial nomenclature: genus + specific epithet ex. Homo sapiens homo = genus, sapiens = species ( wise ) Hierarchical each level more inclusive than the one below. All species at a level share characteristics of that group. Accumulation of genetic changes within populations over time. Changes in allele freq. from generation to generation (each generation different from parent generation) Not changes in an individual during lifetime. A mechanism of evolution (1 of many); beneficial traits increase in frequency over generations. Traits that promote success will increase from generation to generation.
