4 Questions
What is the definition of polymorphism in the context of evolution?
Polymorphism refers to the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms within the same population of a species.
What are some topics covered in the course of evolution of plants and animals?
Topics covered include history of evolutionary thought, population genetics, gene frequency/equilibrium, Hardy-Weinberg Principle, polymorphism, origin and types of mutation, polyploidy, isolation mechanism, adaptation, origin of life, evolution of organic molecules, polymer synthesis, origin of species, evidence of evolution, fossil/carbon dating, comparative anatomy, taxonomy, evolution of the plants, phylogeny, and geological periods and epochs.
What is the significance of comparative anatomy in the study of evolution?
Comparative anatomy is significant in providing evidence for evolution by revealing similarities and differences in the anatomical structures of different species.
What does evolution provide the foundation for understanding?
Evolution provides the foundation for understanding the environmental and molecular bases of diversity observed among populations.
