If a diploid cell is 24 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are in would be
in a cell with 2N: 24 (trick question)

Draw a logistic growth curve
What type of survivorship curve would an R selected species have?- convex
This person would argue that if a giraffe kept stretching its neck, it would get
longer- Lamarck
Cells have to divide to restore what ratio: SA/Volume ratio
o Why?? (just ask)- where do cells take in nutrients/they need to
survive? – membrane. So, when the volume increases faster than the
surface area, can the inner material be supported? SO what does the
cell have to do? Divide. ((4pir^2// 4/3 pir^3))
A structure that serves no apparent purpose- vestigial

An example of a density independent factor limiting population size is((variable))
Illustrate divergent evolution: ---<
A structure that has a similar inward structure to another- homologous

Darwin’s 4 Postulateso 1. Individual members of a population are different in many
respect
o 2. Some differences are inheritable
o 3. In each generation, some species live long enough to
reproduce, others do not
o 4. Chance of survival and reproduction is determined by the
organism's characteristics- the ability to survive long enough to
reproduce is natural selection
