100
A trace of an ancient organism that has been preserved in rock
What is a Fossil?
100
A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.
What is species?
100
This is likely to happen to a species if it is not well adapted to a new environment
What is extinction?
100
Helps a species to survive, by causing individuals of a species to be genetically and physically different.
What is variation?
100
He is considered the father of evolution?

What is bird?
200
This happened to finch #7
What is Extinction?
200
Strategy in which organisms make more offspring than will actually survive.
What is overproduction?
200
What is speciation?
200
Determined a theory for how organisms evolved based on acquiring traits during their lifetime
Who is Lamarck?
300
A structure that is present in an organism but no longer serves its original purpose (ex. hip bones in whales)
What are vestigial structures?
300
This type of key uses "either or" questions to help classify organisms.
What is Dichotomous?
300
A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce
What is an adaptation?
300
Inability of a species to interbreed due to different mating sites or behaviors.
What is Reproductive Isolation?
300
Change in a kind of organism over time; process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms.
What is evolution?
400
Structures in different species that are similar because of common ancestry.
What are homologous structures?
400
This diagram shows evolutionary relationships
What is a Cladogram of Phylogenetic tree?
400
The source of variation within a species
What is mutation and sexual reproduction?
400
Populations may be physically separated when their original habitat becomes divided by an obstacle (mountains, rivers, etc.)
What is geographic isolation?
400
Weissman proved Lamarck's theory wrong by performing this experiment.
What is he cut off the tails of mice to see if their offspring were born with no tails?
500
Scientists may study the development of these to determine common ancestry
What are embryos?
500
According to the diagram, these two organisms are most closely related
What are the crab and trilobyte (black buggish animal)?
500
A natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment ex. fastest, smartest, quietest, loudest, best eyesight, etc.
What is survival of the fittest or natural selection?
500
The islands where Darwin studied the different characteristics of finches are located here.
What is off the coast of South America?
500
Four types of evidence of evolution
