Camouflage
This form of camouflage offers concealment from prey or for hiding from predators by using coloration.
What is concealing camouflage?
The "driver" of evolution; survival of the fittest.
What is natural selection?
Proves that animals are related but have changes by studying DNA
What is DNA comparison?
This coloration of peppered moths are more likely to be eaten by predators in a black forest.
What is white peppered moths?
This scientist would have believed this example.
Because you ate three chocolate cakes and are now obese, you children will inherit you obesity.
Who is Lamarck?
Bat wings, human hands, horse legs, and whale fins are examples of this type of struture.
What is a homologous structure?
When a plant or animal looks like another plant, another animal, or an object.
What is mimicry?
This scientist believed organisms with an advantage that developed randomly due to a mutation reproduce more, so they pass on the advantage more often.
Who is Charles Darwin?
The way fossils support evolution.
What is a timeline can be made using transitional fossils to show how a plant or animal evolved?
Structures that no longer have a function but once did for our ancestors
What is vestigial structures?
A form of camouflage; the animal's coloration confuses predators by not matching the outline of the animal's body.
What is disruptive coloration?
This scientist believed that organisms pass on traits that they developed in their lifetime to their offspring.
Who is Lamarck?
How embryology supports evolution
It proves the Theory of Evolution because it shows that animals look the same as embryos even though they don’t look the same as they develop. Some common ancestor must have passed it on.
The reason why black moths do better in black forests.
What is they have an advantage because their coloration camouflages them so predators are less likely to eat them allowing them to reproduce more than moths with colors that don't blend in?
Needs different traits (aka genetic diversity)
(Selection)
What are natural AND artificial selection?
This is how analogous structures are evidence of evolution.
What is it proves that something is changing organisms. Thing don’t develop by coincidence. Something favoured the advantage in two unrelated organisms?
