All the same species that live in the same place at the same time and can interbreed
What is a population?
100
is all of the alleles of the populations in one large pool
What is a gene pool?

200
Give two examples of evidences of evolution
dna evidence, biochemical evidence, structures

Any inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of survival is known as this.
What is an adaptation?
200
Populations that are more likely to survive a changing environment need to have lots of ...
variations
200
What is it called when organisms leave a population/area
What is emigration?
300
Refers to a population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations.
What is genetic equilibrium?
300
Selection based on man made manipulation
What is artificial selection?
300
The concept that organisms who are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful
What is survival of the fittest?
300
diagram that shows similar traits within an evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms
What is a cladogram?
300
A mistake or change that occurs in the DNA sequence is called a ______________________.
What is a mutation?
400
early development/embryology

The concept of humans selecting desired traits in species
What is artificial selection or selective breeding?
400
According to the modern theory of evolution, new traits are produced by....
What are mutations?
400
a form of natural selection in which the entire curve moves; occurs when individuals at one end of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end of the curve
What is directional selection?
400
The process in which nature determines which individuals/adaptations survive is known as this.
What is natural selection?
500
Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better suited to the environment survive and reproduce therefore passing down their genes to their offspring?
What is Natural Selection?
500
Organs/ structures that no longer serve a purpose and have disappeared or reduced in size.

500
Being able to blend in with your environment.
camouflage
500
The study of the behavior of genes in populations of living organisms
What is population genetics
500
Occurs when formerly interbreeding organisms can no longer mate and produce fertile offspring
What is reproduction isolation?
600
When an organism completely dies out.
What is Extinction?

Give an example of two adaptations
fur, claws, wings, camouflages, lashes, humps, and more.
600
Evolutionists believe that similar organisms evolved from a(n)
What is common ancestors?
600
If a population were to become separated or geographically isolated for a long period of time, this may lead to
speciation, new species
600
When an ancestral species evolves into many different species because of diverse habitats or adaptations

While in the Galapagos Islands, Darwin noticed that the Finches' beak shape had evolved based on the...
food source
700
a form of natural selection in which a single curve splits into two; occurs when individuals at the upper and lower ends of a distribution curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle
What is disruptive selection?
700
a type of genetic drift where there is a reduction of genetic diversity in a population that has just seen a significant reduction in size due to a random event such as a natural disaster
What is bottleneck effect?
