Coevolution Event ✔✔The process by which two or more species evolve in tandem by exerting selection pressures on each other
Speciation Event ✔✔A lineage-splitting event that produces two or more separate species.
Phylogenetic Event ✔✔The evolutionary development and history of a species or higher taxonomic grouping of organisms. Also called phylogenesis. The evolutionary development of an organ or other part of an organism
Homology Event ✔✔Shared trait among species
Mutation ✔✔A Mutation occurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene.
Gene Flow ✔✔is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. Migration into or out of a population may be responsible for a marked change in allele frequencies (the proportion of members carrying a particular variant of a gene). 1 / 2
Genetic Drift ✔✔is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to RANDOM sampling of organisms. Ex. Earthquake or disaster
Artificial Selection ✔✔The breeding of plants and animals to produce desirable traits
Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle ✔✔release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy
Calvin Cycle ✔✔is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
Electron Transport Chain ✔✔A group of compounds that pass electron from one to another via redox reactions coupled with the transfer of proton across a membrane to create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis. (Produces most ATP)
Glycolysis ✔✔The process in cell metabolism by which carbohydrates and sugars, especially glucose, are broken down, producing ATP and pyruvic acid.
