WILD CARD
100
He was an English naturalist that is credited with developing the theory of natural selection.

Who is Charles Darwin?

100

This is the differences in physical traits among organisms.

What is variation?


100

This is a change in the sequence of DNA. It is also the ultimate source of variety in a population.

What is mutation?

100
This is forming a new species by evolution from a preexisting species.

What is speciation?

100

This is the OTHER GUY that also put forth a theory that was similar to Darwin's natural selection.

Who is Alfred Russell Wallace?

200

This is evolution that effects only ONE population.

What is microevolution?

200

This is having lots of offspring to compete for resources in an environment.

What is overproduction of offspring?

200

This says that the organism who is best fit for the environment will survive. 

What is natural selection?
200
This can be gradual or mass and it is the elimination of a species.

What is extinction?

200

This is Mr. Pink's cat's name.

Who is Ringo Starr Kitten?

300

When two populations form a beneficial relationship over time.

What is coevolution?

300

This describes a change in gene frequency over time.

What is descent with modification?

300

This occurs during migration.

What is gene flow?
300

This is bursts of change followed by stability. 

What is punctuated equilibrium?


300

This is the answer to the answer, man.

What is the answer?

400

This is a number of different species coming from one common ancestor.

What is divergent evolution?


400

This is a feature that benefits an organism in an environment.

What is an adaptation?

400

This is a random change in allele frequency over time, affecting smaller populations.

What is genetic drift?

400

This is slow constant changes over a period of a long time.

What is gradualism?
400

This is a type of divergent evolution that happens on a small scale over a shorter period of time. 

What is adaptive radiation?

500

This is a measure of how well an organism can survive in it's environment.

What is fitness? (survival of the fittest)

500

This is the selection of traits that are not beneficial for survival.

What is non-random mating? (sexual selection)

500

This is also know as the "Hardy-Weinburg" equilibrium.

What is genetic equilibrium?

500

This is unrelated specioes share similar characteristics.

What is convergent evolution?


500

This is Mr. Pink's favorite teacher.

Who is Short King Watts?
