Evidences
The theory of natural selection was developed by
Who is Charles Darwin?
Too many organism in an area
What is Overpopulation?
A group of genetically similar organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring
What is a Species?
The most modern and accurate way to determine evolutionary relationships
What is DNA?
These are the islands where Darwin developed his theory
What are the Galapagos Islands?
Mechanism of evolution where something happened to the original population resulting in a small population
What is Genetic Drift?
Rivalry between two organism over available resources (food, habitat, mates ,etc.)
What is Competition?
A structure that anatomically looks different, but serves a common purpose
What is Analogous Structure?
This type of structure is one that is no longer used, but served a purpose to the ancestors
What is Vestigial Structure?
In natural selection, this is the agent that "selects" for or against traits of an organism
What is the Environment?
Mechanism of evolution where there is a random change to an organism genetic code resulting in a new trait
What is a Mutation
Things in the environment that organism need for survival
What is Resources?
This name of the ship Darwin sailed on
What is the Beagle?
This type of structure has the same anatomical build, but serve a different function
What is Homologous Structure?
What animals did Charles Darwin observe that helped him lead him to his theory?
What is either the Finches beaks/Tortoise Shells?
Mechanism of evolution assigned to the ring finger
What is Non-random Mating
Blending into the environment
What is Camouflage?
Any trace or remains of a once-living organism that has been preserved by natural processes
What is a Fossil?
Studying developmental stages provides this type of evidence
What is Embryology?
The process whereby organism that have advantages survive and pass their genes onto their offspring
What is Natural Selection?
Write out all 5 mechanism of evolution assigned to the correct finger
Pinky Finger- Genetic Drift, Ring Finger- Non-random Mating , Middle Finger- Mutations, Pointer Finger- Gene Flow, Thumb- Natural Selection
A change in the heritable characteristics of a population over a period of time
What is Evolution?
Where are 2 other places that you can find a fossil besides in the ground?
What is Ice or Amber?
