The process by which individuals with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, causing those traits to become more common over time.
What is natural selection?
Early stage of development before birth or hatching.
What is embryonic?
The process by which the body maintains a stable internal temperature.
What is thermoregulation?
A two-part scientific naming system using genus and species names.
What is binomial nomenclature?
Universal donor.
What is O-?
Species in similar ecosystems on different continents are similar but not identical.
What is species vary globally?
The theory that continents were once connected and slowly moved apart over time.
What is continental drift?
A region of the brain that acts as the control center for thermoregulation by monitoring body temperature and triggering responses when temperatures change
What is the Hypothalamus?
A new trait that develops and distinguishes a group from its ancestors.
What is a derived trait?
Universal recipient.
What is AB+?
A field that combines statistics, mathematical modeling, and computer science to analyze biological data
What is bioinformatics?
Structures that have similar anatomy due to common ancestry, even if they serve different functions.
What is a homologous structure?
