Father of Evolution
Charles Darwin
100
Isolated on different islands of the Galápagos archipelago, finch populations evolved distinct traits and food sources, leading to at least 15 different species.
Geographic isolation
100
documenting the existence of past species, showing gradual morphological changes over time, and revealing transitional forms between ancestral and modern organisms
fossils
100
Extremophiles domain
archaea
100
Which organisms have retractable claws
leopard, house cat
200
the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations, often described as "descent with modification
Evolution
200
The northern red-legged frog breeds in fast-moving streams, while the bullfrog prefers to breed in warm, shallow ponds, preventing interbreeding.
Ecological
200
show that different species share similar anatomical features inherited from a common ancestor, even if those features now serve different functions
homologous structures
200
chitin cell wall
fungi
200
Which organisms are not carnivorous
horse, tortoise
300
a measure of an organism's reproductive success, defined as its ability to survive, find a mate, and produce viable, fertile offspring that pass on genetic material to the next generation
fitness
300
Drosophila melanogaster (a fruit fly) breeds in the late afternoon and early evening, while its close relative, Drosophila simulans, breeds primarily in the morning.
temporal
300
different species share common ancestors through similar developmental stages
embryology
300
peptidoglycan cell wall
bacteria
300
Who is most closely related to primates
rodents and rabbits
400
Three three pressures of nature selection with a graph of each
directional, disruptive, stabilizing
400
Blue-footed Booby males perform an elaborate dance, displaying their bright blue feet. Females only accept mates that perform the correct courtship display.
behavioral
400
different species share common ancestors through similar developmental stages
homologous molecules
400
strictly heterotrophic
animalia
400
Is a frogs DNA more similar to a shark or a bird
shark
500
Light-colored oysters hide on shallow, light rocks, while dark-colored oysters hide in deeper, dark shadows. Medium-colored oysters are easily spotted by predators in both environments
disruptive
500
Different species of damselflies have distinctly shaped reproductive organs that do not fit together, preventing mating.
mechanical
500
demonstrate convergent evolution, where unrelated species independently develop similar traits
analogous structures
500
can be both uni or multicellular
fungi
