BIO 358 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Biological Specificity, Natural Selection, Chromosome
Document Summary
Practice quiz topics 3, 4, &5: understanding the chromosomal features of sexual reproduction in mammals (including humans) will help us in understanding evolution by natural selection in general. It will also very specifically illuminate the adaptive logic of mammal social behavior. Understanding the adaptive logic (or lack thereof) of infanticide proved useful in understanding adaptive/evolutionary logic of non-human animal social behavior more generally. An answer may be used more than once or not at all. Underlying cause of a building falling into disrepair (like the parthenon) Cause of mutations that result in the existence of genetic variation in biological systems. Statement that lion infanticide is a result of head-to-head competition between variation in genes. Process that results in either slow or fast change in animal bodies or minds over time. Poor workmanship as a result of conflict of interests. Selection at the level of the information encoded in each individual"s genes.
