Evolution
The Scientists that tested the Primordial Soup Theory by trying to simulate Early Earth.
Who are Urey and Miller
The Theory that Early Earth contained organic compounds created by Lightening.
What is Primordial Soup Theory?
The type of natural selection where one type of trait is selected for over the other.
What is Directional Selection.
The Theory that the first living organisms were heterotrophic.
What is the Heterotrophic Hypothesis?
What are prokaryotic, anaerobic and heterotrophic?
The type of natural selection where the middle of the distribution is selected for.
What is stabilization selection.
The Theory that states organisms that can adapt to changes in their environment are the most likely to survive and reproduce.
What is The Theory of Natural Selection?
Body parts that share a common function but have a different structure
What is an analogous structure?
A group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
What is a species?
When a large animal and small animal are both selected for, but the animal in the middle is not.
What is Disruptive Selection.
The theory that states that early unicellular heterotrophic cells gave rise to unicellular autotrophic cells which gave rise to multicellular organisms.
What is the Endosymbiotic Theory?
What is DNA evidence (Comparative Biochemistry).
These organisms provided the first free oxygen on earth.
What are autotrophic prokaryotes (or photosynthesizing prokaryotes).
Dark mice survive and reproduce more than light colored mice. Which population is most fit?
What are the dark mice?
The early Theory that stated that living things arise spontaneously from non-living things.
What is the Theory of Spontaneous Generation?
