LIKE THE PELVIS IN THE WHALE, THESE STRUCTURES HAVE NO KNOWN FUNCTION IN PRESENT DAY
What is VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES

THIS BRITISH NATURALIST DEVELOPED THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION THROUGH NATURAL SELECTION
WHO IS DARWIN
100
SCIENTISTS WHO STUDY FOSSILS
WHO ARE PALEONTOLOGISTS
100

the living things in an ecosystem

WHAT ARE BIOTIC FACTORS
200
IN UNDISTURBED LAYERS OF ROCK, THIS IS WHERE YOU FIND THE OLDEST FOSSILS
What is ON THE BOTTOM LAYER
200
ACCORDING TO DARWIN'S THEORY OF NATURAL SELECTION THESE ORGANISMS WILL MOST LIKELY REPRODUCE AND PASS ON GENES /TRAITS
WHAT ARE ORGANISMS WITH THE STRONGER OR MORE DESIRABLE TRAIT
200
THIS TYPE OF ROCK CONTAINS THE MOST FOSSILS
What is SEDIMENTARY ROCK (ESP. LIMESTONE)
200

all the populations of different species that live together in the same area at the same time.

WHAT IS COMMUNITY?

300
PARTS OF ORGANISMS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE AND SHOW A CLOSE EVOLUTIONARY LINK
WHAT ARE HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES
300
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS OF THE SAME SPECIES
WHAT IS VARIATION
300
THIS TYPE OF FOSSIL RECORD WILL EXAMINE THE ROCK LAYERS.. NEWER ROCKS ARE CLOSER TO THE TOP, OLDER ROCKS ARE IN THE LOWER LAYERS
What is RELATIVE DATING
300

NAME THREE LIMITING FACTORS FOR A POPULATION

Lack of food and water / sunlight

Predator populations increasing

Natural disasters Ex: floods and fires

Loss of shelter / habitat

Unfavorable environmental changes

Disease

THIS EVIDENCE STUDIES EARLY DEVELOPMENT TO SHOW THAT FISH, BIRDS, AND MAMMALS HAVE A TAIL AND GILLS OR GILL SLITS WHILE STILL GROWING IN THE WOMB

WHAT IS EMBYOLOGY

400
ALLOWS AN ORGANISM TO BETTER SURVIVE IN ITS ENVIRONMENT
WHAT IS ADAPTATION
400

THIS TYPE OF RECORD WILL DETERMINE THE AGE OF A ROCK BY COMPARING THE AMOUNT OF RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT IN THE ROCK

What is ABSOLUTE AGE DATING

400

Define carrying capacity

The largest number of individuals of one species that an environment can support.
