Charles Darwin
After returning from the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin made this conclusion.
What is natural selection was the evolutionary mechanism for species change?
This bird trait is an example of a derived trait.
What is a feather?
The evolution of a second jaw in a cichlid fish is called this.
What is adaptive radiation?
This explains why cytochrome c provides a broad-ranged comparison of evolutionary relationships.
What is the molecule experienced little change over a long time?
This person is the oldest student in classroom 6.
Who is Walker?
Darwin would have called the breeding of larger tomato plants by farmers this.
What is artificial selection?
An organism feature that is not an adaptation is called this.
What is constraint?
The speciation of five modern tiger species from one ancestral species is called this.
If a hypothetical colony of 100 humans isolated themselves on an island, their genetic makeup after several generations would be determined by this.
What is founder effect?
This is the town that CABI is in?
Where is Worcester?
This is the name of the ship that Charles Darwin sailed on.
What is the HMS Beagle?
This type of natural selection favors the extreme form of a trait.
What is directional selection?
The study of the structures of early organisms during early stages of development is called this.
What is comparative embryology?
The theory of punctuated equilibrium seeks to replace the speciation model known as this.
What is gradualism?
This is Ms. Sam's favorite student.
HA JUST KIDDING YOU'RE ALL MY FAVES :-)
This theory was developed by Charles Darwin.
What is the Theory of Natural Selection?
This type of natural selection removes individuals with the average form of a trait, creating two populations with extreme traits.
What is disruptive selection?
The DNA similarities within a population of wild animals that appears as though they have been inbred is called this.
What is bottleneck?
This removes organisms with extreme forms of a trait.
What is stabilization selection?
What is March?
Charles Darwin spoke to this naturalist about the mockingbirds in the Galapagos.
Who is John Gould?
This adaptation allows species to blend in with their surroundings.
What is camouflage?
This adaptation occurs when one species looks like another species.
What is mimicry?
This occurs when traits are inherited.
What is sexual selection?
What did the cow say to the chicken?
