Redi and Pasteur were scientists that used meat and broth to disprove spontaneous generation and support this idea.
What is living things come from other living things?
100
The image below is an example of this evidence for evolution.
What is comparative anatomy?
100
An increase in this will allow for a species to be better adapted for changes in the ecosystem.
What is genetic diversity? (also, biodiversity)
100
Human ancestors began using two legs which is called this.
What is bipedalism?
100
This macromolecule is found in a 1:2:1 ratio of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What is carbohydrate?
200
This gas was most likely absent from early Earth's atmosphere.
What is oxygen?
200
Below is an image showing the development of 6 different vertebrates used to support the theory of evolution with this evidence.
What is comparative embryology?
200
The image below represents which mechanism of evolution where an animal population that has started over in 3 different areas with a much smaller portion of the original population.
What is genetic drift?
200
The development of these allowed humans to be more productive with their resources.
What are tools?
200
This macromolecule stores and transmits genetic information.
What is nucleic acid?
300
This type of cell was most likely the first organism on the planet.
What is prokaryote?
300
Below is an evolutionary line of flycatchers across Asia and Africa using this piece of evidence to support their claims.
What is biogeography?
300
A lizard laying 50-100 eggs but only 25 make it to adulthood is this example of natural selection.
What is overproduction of offspring?
300
This trend in jaw size is observed from human ancestors to the living species today.
What is decrease in size?
300
Nucleotides are the building blocks of this macromolecule. (Double jeopardy if you can name 2 examples as well)
What is nucleic acid? DNA and RNA?
400
Miller and Urey were created this type of molecule from their experiments with early Earth atmosphere gasses.
What is organic molecule? (also, macromolecules or amino acids)
400
The image below is this piece of evidence for the evolution of horses.
What is fossil record?
400
The image below shows genes moving from one population to another as an example of this mechanism of evolution.
What is gene flow?
400
This trend in brain size is observed from human ancestors to the living species today.
What is increase in size?
400
Amino acid sequences can be used to compare the molecular structure of different species to support the theory of evolution. Amino acids are the monomers of this macromolecule.
What is protein?
500
This theory explains how life could have originated from a single cell prokaryote by stating prokaryotes engulfed other prokaryotes and became specialized like a mitochondria inside of the larger prokaryote.
What is endosymbiotic theory?
500
Scientists have discovered an unknown species and are trying to categorize it. Below is an example of its DNA compared to four other organisms. This organism is its closest living relative.
What is Species IV?
500
Darwin's finches have a variety of beak shapes and sizes. This is an example of which condition of natural selection.
What is inherited variation?
500
Humans evolved from monkeys.(True of False)
What is false? Humans are theorized to evolved from ape-like organisms thousands of years ago
500
This macromolecule contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in no particular ratio and one specific type makes up the majority of the cell membrane.
What is lipid?
