100
He suggested that organisms evolved by process of adaptation
Lamarck
100
It is the theory that changes in the earth's crust during history have resulted in the action of continuous processes
Uniformitarianism
100
It was the ship that carried Darwin around the world and to the Galapagos
HMS Beagle
100
Its the study of molecular basis of genes and gene expression
Molecular Biology
100
It is small-scale changes in gene frequencies for a few generations within a species
Microevolution
200
He was a Geologist and Authored the Theory of uniformitarianism and gradualism
Lyell
200
One of the main principles of this theory is that not all offspring will survive due to competition
Theory of Natural Selection
200
Preserved remnants or impressions left by organisms that lived in the past...Reveals the appearance of organisms in a historical sequence
Fossil Record
200
It is the science that says different organisms go through similar embryonic stages
Comparative Embryology
200
It's the sum total of all genes (alleles) of all individuals in a genetic population
Gene Pool
300
He proposed that fossils were ancient versions of living species
Georges Buffon
300

Traits gained during a lifetime could then be passed on to the next generation

Theory of Acquired Inheritance
300
Features that have similar structure but have difference functions
Homologous structures
300
Unequal reproductive process is most closely associated with this theory of evolution
Natural Selection
300
It is the random change in an organism's nucleotide sequence
Mutation
400
His theory was that of Acquired Inheritance
Lamarck
400
It is where nature chooses organism with best traits for survival
Natural Selection
400
It is the comparison of body structures between different species
Comparative Anatomy
400

It States that allele and gene frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to  generation in the absence of evolutionary influences

Hardy-Weinberg Principle
400
They are the 3 ways that Natural Selection can alter variation in a population
Stabilizing Selection
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection
500
He observed organisms in the Galapagos Islands
Charles Darwin
500

This theory Suggested giraffes acquired long necks because ancestors stretched higher and higher into the trees to reach leaves at a time when there was drought in the African prairies


Theory of Acquired Inheritance
500
It is the geographic distribution of species
Biogeography
500

It is a widespread event that wipes out the majority (over 50%) of living plants and animals.

Mass Extinction
500
It suggests that life arose gradually through inorganic molecules
Oparin Hypothesis
