Sheet1 What is a population? A group of individuals that interbreed. What is Potassium/Argon (K/Ar) Dating? Technology to date fossil localities in areas like East Africa where has been volcanic activity. What is Punctuated Equilibrium? Long periods of stabilizing or oscillating selection are punctuated by bursts of change. What is Radiocarbon (C14) Dating? It determines the approximate age of an ancient artifact using the amount of carbon 14. It cannot date far back enough with early human fossil localities. What is Seriation (Stylistic Frequency)? As human behavior changes through time material things change as well. It is an approach to place artifacts in an order sequence. What are Species? A group of individuals that is capable of interbreeding and is reproductively isolated from other populations. What is Taphonomy? A process that affects bone following the death of the animal. What is Genotype? Your alleles define your hereditary/genetic make-up. What is Phenotype? Your physical characteristics due to the interaction of the genes as well as the enviroment. What is the Co-Dominant in a heterozygous allele? Explains that both alleles are at least partly expressed. What is Dominant in a heterozygous allele? The allele in the pair that is the only one expressed in your phenotype. What is Recessive in a heterozygous allele? The allele in the pair that is not shown in your phenotype. What is a Monogenetic Trait? The trait affected by change at only one position. What is Macromutation? A mutation with very important results. What is Point Mutation? Mutation of a single codon, or sometimes of a single base in a codon. Sheet2 Sheet3
