What is Natural selection?
How many years did Charles Darwin sailed?
What is 5 Years
How things change and/or evolve over time
What is Evolution
What structure goes through Divergent Evolution
What is Homologous structure
different in structure (body parts/anatomy) but similar in function that do not share a common ancestor
What is Analogous structure
What was the name of the ship that Darwin sailed?

If humans and cat limbs resembles each other, it is said that these are
1. Homologous Structure
2. Divergent Evolution
3. Have/share a common ancestor
What are past reserves which are evidence of past life showing how species have changed over time.
What are fossil
When two or more species evolve from a common ancestor and become increasingly different over time.
What is Divergent Evolution
similar in structure (body parts/anatomy) but different in functions that share a common ancestor
What is Homologous structure
This is an example of:
Farmers choose the largest and healthiest corn kernels to plant, resulting in larger corn crops over time.
Selective Breeding (Artificial selection)
These reptiles have the adaptation to change their scales to the color or their surroundings to better camouflage themselves from predators.
What are iguanas

Galapagos Island (Turtle)
Charles Darwin observed these birds on each of the Galapagos islands and noted differences in their beaks.
What are Darwin finches
The collection of all discovered fossils, arranged in chronological order based on their location in sedimentary rock layers.
What is the fossil record
When unrelated species evolve similar traits due to adapting to similar environments or ecological niches.
What is Convergent Evolution
The process where humans intentionally choose organisms with specific traits to reproduce.
What is Selective Breeding (Artificial Selection)
What was the species that Darwin found?
What are Land Tortoises, Darwin Finches, Blue-Footed Booby, and Marine Iguanas
In order for an organism to go through Convergent Evolution, what type of structures must they be
Analogous Structures because this means that they do not share a common ancestor
