Darwin, et. al.
Fossils: Are they more than watches?
You have any evidence of that?
Details, schmetails
Can you give me an example?
100
Darwin traveled on this ship.
What is the HMS Beagle?
100
Older fossils are found here.
What are lower layers?
100
Structures an organism has that no longer have a useful function.
What are vestigial structures?
100
Change in hereditary features of a species over time.
What is evolution?
100
Snowshoe hares changing fur color to white in winter is an example of this adaptation.
What is camouflage?
200
Darwin used his observations here to develop his theory of evolution.
What are the Galapagos Islands?
200
Remains of life at least 10,000 years old
What are fossils?
200
Bird, human, and whale forelimbs with similar structures but different functions.
What are homologous structures?
200
This occurs when several species become extinct in a relatively short amount of time.
What is mass extinction?
200
The harmless milk snake having stripes similar to the venomous coral snake is an example of this adaptation.
What is mimicry?
300
A major cause of extinction
What is environmental change?
300
Footprints
What are trace fossils?
300
Birds, bats, and bees all have wings, an example of this.
What are analogous structures?
300
A technique used to hide from predators.
What is camouflage?
300
The creation of a maroon carrot (courtesy of my alma mater Texas A&M) is an example of this.
What is artificial selection?
400
Homologous structures, analogous structures, and vestigial structures are all evidence of this.
What is evolution?
400
Petrified wood, which looks like a tree but is made of rock, is an example of this.
What is mineralization?
400
The study of development before birth.
What is embryology?
400
All fossils ever discovered on Earth.
What is the fossil record?
400
Since nylon has only been around since the 1940s, a bacteria that can eat nylon is an obvious example of this.
What is natural selection?
500
Darwin studied these animals on the Galapagos Islands.
What are tortoises?
500
Impression of an organism in rock.
What is a mold?
500
This field compares genes and proteins to determine relationships.
What is molecular biology?
500
Inherited traits that increase an organism's chance of survival and reproduction.
What are adaptations?
500
Using this method, you would say our teachers are all older than you.
