Adaptive
feature
A structure or way of behaving that help an organism
to survive in a particular environment. Adaptive =
survival enhancing.
Adaptive
radiation
A form of divergent evolution – generally associated
with a relatively rapid divergence into new species or
groups and associated with unoccupied ecological
niches.
Allele
frequency
The proportion of each allele of a particular gene in
the gene pool.
Allopoloploidy Where an individual has more than two chromosome
sets that have arisen from combining two different
genomes (species) Form infertile hybrids.
Amphiploidy The doubling of sterile hybrid chromosome sets in
plants to create a fertile plant.
Allopatric
speciation
Pattern of speciation that occurs when organisms or
populations are living in separate geographical
areas (ie have become geographically isolated.)
Analogous
organs
Organs that are similar in function and often in
superficial structure but of very different evolutionary
origins.
Autopolyploidy Where an individual has more than two chromosome
sets, that have arisen from non-disjunction within the
same species.
Cline Pattern of variation within a species. A continuous
increase or decrease in some characteristics
between adjacent populations as you move eg North
to South.
Co evolution The genetic change (and evolution) in a species, in
response to genetic change in another. Each organism
exerts selective pressures on the other and over time the
species become mutually dependent.
Convergent
evolution
The evolution of similar adaptive features in species
from different origins because they have adapted to
the same environment.
Deme A local unit of population of any one species. They
usually have some genetic or other character that
sets them apart from other nearby populations.
Directional
selection
Natural selection that favours the phenotype of one
extreme over the average or over the other extreme
so there is a shift of the average.
Disruptive
selection
Natural selection that favours both extremes at the
expense of the average.
Divergent
evolution
Evolution where organisms become more diverse as
they evolve from a common ancestor.
Founder Effect Where only a few organisms move into a new area
and may carry only a few of the available alleles from
the species gene pool.
Gene flow The movement of genes from one part of a
population to another, or from one population to
another, via gametes.
Gene pool The total of genes in a population at any one time.
Genetic
equilibrium.
When the allele frequencies of a gene pool remain
unchanged from generation to generation.
Genetic drift Random changes in gene pools(rather than
directional ones brought about by natural selection)
Can be highly significant in altering allele frequency
in small gene pools.
Genotype The genetic makeup of an organism – what alleles it
carries.
Genotype
frequency
The proportion of each genotype in the gene pool.
Geographic
isolation
When physical barriers separate one species
population from another.
Gradualism A theory that states species evolve steadily and
gradually change into different forms.
Homologous
organs
Organs that have descended by inheritance from a
common ancestor, but may have different functions.
Instant
speciation
When an organism is genetically isolated from its
original species in one generation by polyploidy.
Isolating
mechanisms
A variety of barriers eg geographical, ecological,
temporal, that may ultimately lead to genetic isolation
Macroevolution Large scale changes in groups of species or genera
as viewed in the fossil record. Evolution above the
level of genera.
Microevolution The generation to generation changes in the
frequency of alleles or genotypes in a population.
Mutation A change in a gene that leads to a new allele. Rare
and random, but is the ultimate source of variation
for evolution.
Natural
selection
Process whereby some combinations of alleles are
more likely to help survival and reproduction than
others. These are selected in specific environments,
and their frequency will increase in the gene pool.
Niche
differentiation
How species avoid direct competition with other
species by eg exploiting slightly different food
resources.
Pentadactyl
limb
An example of a homologous organ in vertebrates.
“Five-fingered limb”
Phenotype The physical expression of the genotype in an
organism.
Phylogeny The evolutionary history of a species or taxonomic
group.
Polyploidy Having more than two sets of chromosomes. May
bring about the abrupt formation of a new species.
Population A group of individuals of the same species in an
area.
Population
Bottlenecks
Where a population is reduced to a few survivors
whose gene pool is not necessarily representative of
the original gene pool.
Postzygotic After fertilization. Refers to isolating factors that
prevent successful reproduction after fertilization.
Prezygotic Before fertilization. Refers to isolation factors that
prevent successful reproduction before fertilization.
Punctuated
equilibrium
A theory that states that species remain stable for
long periods of time and then undergo relatively rapid
speciation and change.
Reproductive
isolation.
When a species or group can no longer breed
successfully with any other organism but the
members of its own species or group.
Ring species Where two apparently different species in one area
are joined by a series of geographical and structural
intermediates. Adjacent groups are still able to
interbreed but not the extremes.
Sequential
evolution
When a species accumulates genetic change over
time which result in a different species (replacing the
original rather than branching out from it)
Sexual
recombination
The shuffling of genes by independent assortment of
chromosomes and random joining of gametes at
fertilization.
Species A group of actually or potentially interbreeding
natural populations that is reproductively isolated
from other such groups.
Stabilizing
selection
Natural selection that favours the average phenotype
at the expense of the extremes.
Sympatric
speciation
Speciation that occurs in species that remain living in
the same area and are never geographically isolated,
but become genetically isolated.
Vestigal organs Organs that have been important in some ancestral
form but that have become redundant in later
species.

Evolution above the level of genera.
  • 8. Microevolution The generation to generation changes in the frequency of alleles or genotypes in a population. Mutation A change in a gene that leads to a new allele. Rare and random, but is the ultimate source of variation for evolution. Natural selection Process whereby some combinations of alleles are more likely to help survival and reproduction than others. These are selected in specific environments, and their frequency will increase in the gene pool. Niche differentiation How species avoid direct competition with other species by eg exploiting slightly different food resources.
  • 9. Pentadactyl limb An example of a homologous organ in vertebrates. “Five-fingered limb” Phenotype The physical expression of the genotype in an organism. Phylogeny The evolutionary history of a species or taxonomic group. Polyploidy Having more than two sets of chromosomes. May bring about the abrupt formation of a new species.
  • 10. Population A group of individuals of the same species in an area. Population Bottlenecks Where a population is reduced to a few survivors whose gene pool is not necessarily representative of the original gene pool. Postzygotic After fertilization. Refers to isolating factors that prevent successful reproduction after fertilization. Prezygotic Before fertilization. Refers to isolation factors that prevent successful reproduction before fertilization.
  • 11. Punctuated equilibrium A theory that states that species remain stable for long periods of time and then undergo relatively rapid speciation and change. Reproductive isolation. When a species or group can no longer breed successfully with any other organism but the members of its own species or group. Ring species Where two apparently different species in one area are joined by a series of geographical and structural intermediates. Adjacent groups are still able to interbreed but not the extremes. Sequential evolution When a species accumulates genetic change over time which result in a different species (replacing the original rather than branching out from it)
  • 12. Sexual recombination The shuffling of genes by independent assortment of chromosomes and random joining of gametes at fertilization. Species A group of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations that is reproductively isolated from other such groups. Stabilizing selection Natural selection that favours the average phenotype at the expense of the extremes. Sympatric speciation Speciation that occurs in species that remain living in the same area and are never geographically isolated, but become genetically isolated.
  • 13. Vestigal organs Organs that have been important in some ancestral form but that have become redundant in later species.
