what is basis of evolution?
Organisms change over time
Living things with beneficial traits produce more offspring

What are Analogous structures and Homologous structures?
Analogous structures are a body part that is similar in function as a body part of another organism but is structurally different
Homologous Structures are Structures in different species that are similar because of common ancestry.

How are fossils formed?
The remains must be covered quickly by sediment or preserves in some way. Trying to make a fossil rarely occurs. There is very low chances for fossils to be preserved.

What is the difference between Microevolution and Macroevolution?
Microevolution is a short period of time where Macroevolution is over a geologic time period ; results from microevolution over many generations
