What is a clade?
100
Vertebrate embryos have similar genes and follow a similar developmental path. That is one evidence of this theory.
What is theory of evolution?
100

What is a common ancestor?
100
This can change the genetic make up of bacteria and make them become antibiotic resistant.
What is mutation?
100
Consequence for a population with no predators
What is increase in population?
200
Mutations and/or genetic recombination create THIS in a population.
What is genetic variation?
200
Genetic variation increase the rate of this mechanism of evolution.
What is natural selection?
200
individuals with favorable traits will survive and pass those traits down to their offspring. They are naturally selected.

200
Bacteria population evolve because mutation creates this...
What is genetic variation?
200
Beneficial effect of mutations.
What is increase in genetic variation?
300
Supported by all the available data and evidence to help understand how something happens.
What is Theory or scientific explanation?
300
They showed that inorganic materials, such as methane, water, carbon dioxide, can produce organic compounds, like amino acids, found in living things.
What are Miller and Urey?
300
Offers scientific explanation of how organisms have changed over very long periods of time.
What is evolution theory?
300
The first one provides scientific explanation and the other one describes natural phenomena. One never becomes the other.
