A group of organisms that can breed naturally in nature and have fertile offspring.
What is a species?
100
The preserved remains or traces of an organism from the past.
What are fossils?
100
This occurs when organisms are separated by a river, valley, mountain, etc.

These are the building blocks (monomer) of proteins.
What are amino acids?
200
An inherited trait that enhances an organisms ability to survive. (Favorable variation)

Only populations evolve, not ...
What is individuals?
200
An explanation of an idea that is broad in scope and supported by a lot of evidence.
What is a scientific theory?
200
The study of similarities in the early development of embryos.
What is embryology?
200
This occurs when flowers pollinate in different seasons.
What is temporal isolation?
200
What does this image represent?
What are homologous structures?
200
These are building blocks (monomer) for nucleic acids (ex. DNA or RNA).
What are nucleotides?
300
When two organisms evolve in response to each other.
What is coevolution?
300
The reason behind why finches have differently shaped beaks on different islands.
What is adaptation to resources around them?
300
A change in the genetic material which can cause variation in a population.
What is a mutation?
300
Structures that no longer have a function.
What is a vestigial structure?
300
When two birds no longer mate because one has developed a different song.
What is behavioral isolation?
300

What is AUC - GGA?
400
The type of evidence we are looking at when we look at amino acids, proteins, and nitrogen bases.
What is DNA evidence?
400
An organ or bone that appears to be different in animals, but has the same function in both animals because of the environment they live in.
What is an analogous structure?
400
An event on a global scale where many species of organisms are wiped out.
What is mass extinction?
400
Organisms that do not share a recent common ancestor, but look very similar because they live in the same environment.
What is convergent evolution?
400
When organisms can no longer mate this process occurs.

What is climate, competition, availability of resources like food, water, and shelter?
500
These 4 things need to occur in order for natural selection to take place.
What is variation, inherited characteristics, competition, and over time changes occur?
500
A version of a trait.
What is an allele?
500
Darwin's finches shared a more recent common ancestor but developed different beaks because of the food they consumed. This is an example of...
What is divergent evolution?
500
in order for two similar groups of organisms to form into different species, this must occur.

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells? Also, name the processes that produce each type of cell.
What is haploid - one set of chromosomes (meiosis) and diploid - 2 sets of chromosomes (mitosis)?
