Patterns in Evolution

Natural selection by Darwin.

Lamarck's theory of use and disuse.

Mutation theory of evolution.

Genetic drift theory.

Uniform changes across all species.

Natural selection changing allele frequencies.

Acquired traits based on use.

Environmental influence on conscious adaptation.

A gradual change of the climate affecting all.

A natural disaster killing many individuals.

A process of large populations spreading.

A change in allele frequency due to a small population's genes.

It has no impact on genetic diversity.

It increases variation through more breeding.

It reduces genetic variation by limiting population size.

It only affects phenotypes, not genotypes.

A population spreading across a continent.

A few individuals colonizing a new island.

A flood killing most of a population.

A mutation arising in a large group.

Loss of genetic variation within a population.

Increased competition among individuals in the group.

Creation of new alleles through mutation.

Improved adaptability to environmental changes.

They exist only in hospital settings.

They become harmful after contact with antibiotics.

They possess mutations that confer resistance.

They are always found in healthy individuals.

Taking herbal remedies alongside antibiotics.

Eating yogurt after antibiotics is harmful.

Ignoring prescribed antibiotic treatment duration.

Drinking water after taking antibiotics only.

They are smaller than regular bacteria.

They only infect the elderly population.

They grow slower than normal bacteria.

They resist multiple antibiotics commonly used today.

Earth's age has no effect on biodiversity.

Species evolved randomly over time.

Biodiversity decreases with age of Earth.

More time allows for more species to evolve.

Extinction has no impact on evolution.

Extinction always decreases biodiversity.

Extinction leads to genetic uniformity.

Extinction opens niches for new species to evolve.

Species adapt only to immediate environments.

Rapid evolution of diverse species from a common ancestor.

All species evolve at the same rate.

Adaptive traits appear randomly without evolution.

They gradually become different and separate.

They always increase in size.

They only change due to disease.

They remain unchanged indefinitely.

They become identical over time.

When they live in different habitats.

When they can no longer reproduce with each other.

When they look different physically.

When they eat different foods.

When they have different predators.

Adaptive radiation resulting in different species.

Gradual extinction of old forms.

Convergent evolution into similar forms.

Artificial selection by humans.

Loss of habitat gradually

Natural selection over time

Low species reproduction rates

Sudden loss of many species

Changes in the environment

Global warming only

Meteor impacts

Immediate climate shifts

One-time genetic shifts in species

Immediate changes in ecosystems

Mass extinction events

Time allows for small changes to accumulate.

Long periods of time and small changes.

External impacts only

Instantaneous changes

Single major mutations

Changes happen slowly

No changes occur

Species disappear completely

Species go extinct

Rapid species diversification

They stay exactly the same

They become increasingly different

They become identical to each other

They become smaller in size

They don't share common ancestors

They all migrate to the same area

They are genetically engineered

Due to environmental changes

Dogs and cats living in the same home.

Frogs and fish living in water.

Eagles and owls hunting at night.

Sharks and dolphins swimming in the ocean.

They share the same diet.

They live in the same geographical area.

They live in similar environments.

They have a common ancestor.

To compete for resources.

To avoid extinction together.

To dominate each other's habitats.

To adapt to each other's changes.

Primate

Rat-finned fish

Sharks

Amphibians
