What is Cuvier known for?
What is how animal anatomy is connected to each other.

What is Speciation?
What is the formation of new species due to a change in the frequencies in specific genes in a population.

What is the difference between a Hypothesis and a Theory?
What is Hypothesis is a proposed explanation of a narrow set of phenomena and Theory is a broad explanation that uses many lines of evidence.

Explain overproduction.
What is each species produces more offspring that can survive.
