A person can evolve in their lifetime
False populations evolve
What is embryology and why is it evidence of evolution
The study of embryo's and because most embryo's look very similar
Process by which organisms that are more fit, survive more leave more offspring each generation
Natural Selection
How did Darwin's observations on the Galapagose contribute to his understanding of evolution
Organisms evolve to fit niches in their environment

True
How is genetics considered evidence for evolution
All DNA is composed the same and species share a large percentage of identical DNA (ex. Human&Chimp like 98%)
How well an organism can survive in its environment
Fitness
Describe 3 pieces of evidence for evolution
Fossil record
Genetics
Comparative Anatomy
Where was Darwin from
London
T or F
Humans are the most evolved species
How is the fossil record considered evidence, even if it's incomplete
We have examples of transition fossils
The formation of a new species from a former ancestor
Speciation
Describe 2 common misconceptions of evolution

Doesn't happen in a line
Most evolved
etc...
