300
This is when organisms make more of themselves
What is reproduction?
300

400
These are the six types of fossil formation
What are molds, casts, mineralization, carbonization, trace fossils, and original material?
500
This is a change over time in populations of related organisms
What is biological evolution?
500
This is when a variation has allowed organisms to survive and have handed down the variation over generations and now most of the species have that variation
What is selection?
500
This type of fossils forms a film when the liquids and gases are squeezed out and is usually black or dark brown
What is carbonization?
500

These are the four biological items used to prove evolution

What are comparative anatomy, vestigial structures, developmental biology, molecular biology?

500

This is how natural selection is related to artificial selection and selective breeding

Natural selection and artificial selection happen in the same way with reproduction, variation, competition, and selection. However, artificial selection has human intervention and selective breeding IS artificial selection since the human is SELECTING which males and females will reproduce. The males and females are chosen by the human for the traits the human likes (or desires)
