Definition
The definition of artificial selection
What is the way organisms have changed due to human influenced control.
The definition gene modification
What is the process of changing the DNA of a organism by adding a desirable gene or removing an unwanted one.
List an example of artificial selection
What is muscled cows, Dog breeding, selective breeding.
List an example of vestigial structures
What is appendix, Wisdom teeth, Pelvic bones in whales.
Describe Embryo and its development
What is an organism at an early stage of development that grows over time.
The definition of natural selection
What is a process by which the environment influences the distribution of trait variations within a population over many generations.
The definition selective breeding
What is when animals or plants are purposely selected to breed for a desired trait.
List an example of natural selection
What is finches on Galapagos islands, species of penguins, Peppered moths.
List an example of analogous structures
What is the wings of birds and butterflies, the flippers of penguins and dolphins.
Describe a common ancestor
What is an organism that is shared by two or more descendant lineages.
The definition of adaptations
What is when the traits that are beneficial for survival in a particular environment become more common in a population over generation.
The definition of vestigial structures
What is serve no function but were useful structures in earlier ancestors.
List an example of adaptations
What is finches changing their beak shape to adapt to the food.
List an example of homologous structures
What is the leaves of plants like the poinsettia, Venus fly trap, and cactus, elephants' tusks and beavers' teeth.
Describe selection
What is Choosing something (as being the best or the most suitable)
The definition of variation
The definition of analogous structures
What is body structures that are similar in function but not in structures.
List an example of variation
What is fur color, height, demeanor, beak shape.
Compare and contrast examples of gene modification and selective breeding
Gene modifications: the DNA is altered by adding, removing or editing a gene.
Selective breeding: Breed/ mated for desirable traits.
Describe environmental interactions
The definition of evolution
What is how organisms have develop throughout generations.
The definition of homologous structures
What is similar in structure but different in function.
List an example of gene modification
What is artificial insemination, using CRISPR, Mr. Green Genes.
List an example of evaluation
What is fossil evidence (penguin and Pedro)
Describe population
What is a group of the same species living in a area.
