A view that God acts and creates through the laws of nature. It assumes that the concept of God is compatible with the findings of modern science, including evolution.
Theistic Evolution
The process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms.
Evolution
_____________ is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.
Natural selection
Paleontologists study ancient organisms. Over millions of years, sediment hardens into rock and preserves the remains of living things. A __________________ is the impression that an organism or part of an organism leaves in rock.
Fossil
This common ancestor, called __________________, was most likely a single-celled organism.
Luca
These views hold that various aspects of living things were created by the special supernatural intervention (missing gaps in the fossil records). Unlike Young Earth Creationists, however, __________ accept the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and the universe.
Old Earth
The modern theory of_________ is based on the assumption that on a primitive earth a mixture of simple chemicals assembled into more complex molecular systems, from which, eventually came the first functioning cell(s).
Chemical Evolution
In biology, a __________is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA. Viral genomes contain either DNA or RNA.
Mutation
___________is the process of remains becoming fossils.
Fossilization
The LUCA was a single-celled organism similar to a modern__________?
Bacteria or Archaea
This view of creation teaches that the Lord created the Earth and all the cosmos in six literal 24-hour days.
Young Earth
Evolution on a smaller scale, which includes changes within a species group.
Microevolution
___________is an evolutionary process in which humans consciously select for or against particular features in organisms – for example, by choosing which individuals to save seeds from or breed from one generation to the next. People have been artificially selecting plants and animals for thousands of years.
Artificial selection
_________ fossils, unsurprisingly, are parts of the organism, which include teeth, bones, skin, eggs, leaves, wood, and bark.
Body Fossil
True or False. Muscle fibers are made of chains of protein, including actin. Proteins in the body have many important functions, which cause mutations.
False
The theory is that life, or the universe, cannot have arisen by chance and was designed and created by some intelligent entity.
Intellgenice Design
Evolution on a grand scale, which includes a species becoming another species.
Macroevolution
By looking at ancient animals in a museum you notice their leg look similar. What can you infer from their Homologous Structures?
They share a common ancestor
__________Fossils are fossils of organisms ________, such as footprints, paw prints, or hand prints.
Trace Fossil
Carlos finds this difficult to understand as he looks at pictures of a dog and a snake. He cannot see many similarities between them, but what shows evidence of their common evolutionary past?
DNA
Genesis One is the establishment of God’s ___________. This view is based on Historical Near-Eastern Culture. God set the cosmos up through billions of years through the evolutionary process and when it was completed He set His image to dwell within it.
Cosmic Temple
In biology, ______________ occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection.
Coevolution
_________ are essential nutrients for the human body. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and can also serve as a fuel source.
Protein
The Rock learns that the fossil record helps people understand life on Earth millions of years ago. Which statement is true about the fossil record?
The fossil record shows patterns that are like data that can be analyzed.
True or False. Fitness in evolution means how well an organism survives and reproduces in its environment.
True
