This person suggested that when giraffes stretched their necks to eat from tall trees, their offspring inherited this longer neck.
Who is Lamarck

What are the three types of evidences used to provide support for evolution?
What is fossil evidence, biological evidence, and genetic evidence.
100
The process through which species change over time.
What is Evolution
100
This key principal for natural selection says that organism produce more offspring than will survive
What is overproduction.
100
This occurs when species reproduce in different seasons or at different times of the day.
What is temporal isolation
200
Evolution is commonly categorized as this.
What is a theory.
200
Hip bones in whales, leg bones in snakes and wings on a penguin are all examples of what?
What is vestigial organs.
200
When breeders produce a new breed by selecting desired traits and only allowing those individuals to breed.
What is artificial selection
200
This is key for speciation to occur?
What is isolation.
200
A wing of a bat and an wing of a butterfly are considered this.
What is analogous structures
300
This person formulated a theory of evolution by natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin
300
This type of evidence led Darwin to believe that species with a common ancestor can develop differently in different locations.
What is fossil evidence.
300
A change in genetic information
What is a mutation.
300
This occurs when an adaptation becomes more common in the next generation of offspring because it helps them survive.
What is selection.
300
This is a widely accepted statement based on scientific evidence that helps explain and predict natural phenomena.
What is a scientific theory.
400
A cats fur is dyed blue by your little brother. When your cat has kittens, they will not be born with blue fur. What theory does this evidence disprove? (What theory, not whose)
What is the theory of evolution by acquired characteristics/traits.
400
If a fish embryo and a pic embryo look similar, what can we conclude about these organisms based on embryology?
What is they share a common ancestor.
400
The evolution of a new species from an existing species.
What is speciation.
400
This occurs when species occur in the same area but they occupy different habitats and rarely encounter one another so they do not breed.
What is Ecological Isolation
400
This is a segment of genetic material found in a cell.
What is a gene.
500
Who's theory of evolution is widely accepted because of continuous observations and testing?
Who is Charles Darwin
500
These are features that are very similar in many species. They are similar structures with different functions.
What is homologous structures.
500
A change that increases an organisms chances for survival is called...
What is an adaptation.
500
Darwin would say that species alive today are descended with modifications (adaptations) from this.
What is a common ancestor.
500
Many organisms in the Galapagos have evolved to become a new species with the help of this.
