Document Summary
Biology 1001 final exam outcomes principles underlying evolution by natural selection: origin of variation, heritability, differential reproduction, change in genotype of the population over time. Origin of variation: beginning with descent from a common ancestor, reproduction, mutation and selection overtime created variation. Heritability: heritability measures the fraction of phenotype variability that can be attributed to genetic variation. Differential reproduction: certain genotypes in a given population have more reproductive success than other genotypes due to their advantage in survival. This success can result in longer survival, higher fitness, and higher frequency. Change in genotype overtime: mutation and evolutionary divergence causes genotypes to change overtime. evidence from the fossil record, historical biogeography, comparative morphology and molecular biology that support the idea of descent with modification from a common ancestor. Fossil records: show evolutionary divergence through vestigial structure (anatomical features that no longer exist but give light to adaptation)
