This is a type of scientist that investigates connections between organisms and their environments.
What is a Naturalist
100
This is the study of where organisms live now and where they and their ancestors lived in the past.
What is Biogeography
100
This was the name of the ship that Darwin sailed on for 5 years in his early 20s.
What is the HMS Beagle
200
This was Darwin's big contribution to science.
What is the development of a scientific theory of biological evolution that explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time through descent from common ancestors.
200
This was the name of the English Naturalist who published an essay on the details of what he believed to be evolution, of which Darwin reviewed before publishing his work.
Who is Alfred Russel Wallace.
200
James Hutton and Charles Lyell both famous geologists, concluded what about the Earth.
What is that the Earth was extremely old.
200
This is the age of the Earth
What is 4.5 billion years old
200
This is the number of genes that are found in the human genome. It freaked people out how small this number was compared to what they were expecting.
What is 22,000-23,000
300
These were the three patters of biodiversity that Darwin noted during his voyage on the HMS Beagle.
What is Species Vary Globally, Species Vary Locally, and Species Vary Over Time
300
This is any heritable characteristic that increases an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is an adaptation
300
This English economist reasoned that if the human population grew unchecked, there wouldn't be enough living space and food for everyone.
Who is Thomas Malthus
300
These document the evolution of modern whales from ancestors that once walked on land.
What is fossils
300
Humans and Chimps are around this percent identical, gene wise.
What is 99%
400
This was the name of the island where Darwin made most of his observations. Also provide the names of the two main types of animals he studied on this island.
What is the Galapagos Islands and Finch & Tortoise.
400
This is a phrase used to describe the struggle of organisms that have adapted with their environment in such a way so to allow limited deaths and offspring or have not and death occurs.
What is survival of the fittest
400
This french naturalist suggested that organisms could change during their lifetimes by selectively using or not using various parts of their bodies. He also suggested that individuals could pass these acquired traits on to their offspring, enabling species to change over time.
Who is Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
400
Darwin proposed that animals with similar structures evolved from a common ancestor with a basic version of that structure. Structures that are shared by related species and that have been inherited from a common ancestor are called this.
What are homologous structures
400
This is the number of As, Ts, Cs and Gs found in DNA that represent the 1% difference between Chimps and Humans.
What is 30 million chemical letters
500
This was the realization Darwin had when he found the ancient glyptodont and compared it to the armadillo.
What is a relationship between the dead and the living, also that species are not fixed, but change by some natural process.
500
This is the mechanism Darwin developed for evolution to show the relationship between living and extinct species. It indicates that all species have common ancestors.
What is evolutionary tree showing decent with modification
500
This is the name of the process farmers would use when selectively breeding trees that only produced the largest fruit or cows that produced the most milk.
What is artificial selection
500
These are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of there original function due to different selection pressures acting on the descendant. (Ex: hipbones in bottle-nose dolphins)
What are vestigial structures
500
This was the name of the fish like fossil that was found by the archeologists in the video. It is an example of a perfect transitional form between a fish and something that has arm-like structures.
