Structures
What is a Homologous Structure?
Over 1000 years the bird has evolved
What is an example of Time?
When no radical trait is favored
What is stabilizing selection
Two species that impact each other's fitness and adaptations
What is Coevolution?
Shared functions, but different origin
What is an Analogous Structure?
Having genetic differences in the population
Both extreme traits benefit while the middle dies out
What is Disruptive Selection?
A type of divergent evolution that splits to create many different species
What is Adaptive Radiation?
An unnecessary structure with no function
What is a Vestigial Structure?
The process where organisms change to better increase their fitness
What is Adaptation?
The trait with the most fitness only favors one trait and the farthest away from that will die out
What is Directional Selection?
Wolves lead to the dog species, but now they are different species today
What is an example of divergent evolution?
What is an Analogous Structure
What is an example of inheritance?
In a rodent species, the organisms with no tail survives as well as the organism with a large fluffy tail.
What is an example of Disruptive Selection?
The graph that is used to find the relationship between organisms and common ancestors
What is a Cladogram?
A shared bone structure between a human and a whale serve different functions
What is an example of a Homologous Structure?
The black rabbits in the snow all die off, while the white ones thrive
What is an example of Struggle/Survival
The four main pieces of evidence that support the theory of Evolution
