What is Variation
100
Links Reptiles and Birds
What is Fossil Evidence
100
When two populations are separated by geographic barriers
What is Geographic Isolation

Was the first nearly fully intact early hominid skeleton fossil. She also provided us a link between past species of hominids and current species of hominids
Who is "Lucy"

Known as the father of genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel
200
Each species produces more offspring that can survive
What is Overproduction
200
“Leftover” traces of evolution that serve no purpose
What are Vestigial Structures
200
Two or more species reproduce at different times
What is Temporal Isolation
200
States that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce
What is the Theory of Evolution
300
He was famous for creating taxonomy
Who is Linnaeus
300
Individuals with the best traits will survive and have the opportunity to pass on it’s traits to offspring
What is Selection
300
Embryos of all vertebrates are very similar early on
What is Embrology
300
Formation of new species die to a change in the frequencies in specific genes in a population
What is Speciation

Which animals are the closest related? Elephant, hyrax, or a gazelle
Elephant and hyrax are the closest related
400
He found how anatomy is connected among different species of animals
Who is Georges Baron Cuvier
400
Individuals compete for limited resources: Food, water, space, mates
What is Competition
400
DNA with more similar sequences suggest species are more closely related
What is Biochemical Evidence?

When members of two populations cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring
What is Reproductive Isolation
400
Another name for skin cancer
What is Melanoma
500
He collected over 126,000 different specimens.
Who is Alfred Russel Wallace
500
No living being is genetically the same
What is Variation
500
Similar anatomy in different types of animals
What are Homologous Body Structures
500
When two populations ARE capable of interbreeding but they have differences in courtship rituals or reproductive strategies that involve behavior
What is Behavioral Isolation
500
This was one of the earliest bipedal hominids that had feet similar to that of apes.
