100
First vertebrates
What are fish?
200
Structures with similar internal anatomy due to common ancestry; used for the same or different purpose.
What are homologous structures?
200
Rust
What is the Evidence that photosynthetic bacteria had evolved?
200
The theory that explains the origin of organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts.
What is endosymbiosis?
200
Individuals with favorable variations have the greatest reproductive success
What is natural selection?
200
Mammals with internal fertilization and live birth.
What are marsupials and placentals?
300
Biochemical evidence that all life forms share a common ancestry.
What is DNA, ATP, Protein synthesis and the genetic code?
300
Arthropods
What were the first land animals?
300
Mitochondria evolved from this. Chloroplasts evolved from this.
What are aerobic bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria?
