This type of symbiotic relationship results when both species benefit
What is mutualism?
300
Preserved remains of ancient organisms
What are fossils?

This term refers to different traits and alleles within a population.
What is variation?
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
This is a type of structure that was once used in a species, but has since evolved to be of no real use.
vestigial structure

French naturalist Lamarck is credited with one of the early theories that organisms changed over time from simple to more complex by passing on acquired traits.
Has this theory been proven true or false?
400
common ancestors
400
The concept of humans selecting desired traits in species.
What is Articial Selection?
400
Structures with similar functions but are not similar in origin. These are not proof of a common ancestor but proof that evolution can occur
Analogous Structures
400
Rock layers that have not been overturned are exposed in a cliff. The rock layers contain many fossils. In which rock layer do the fossils most closely resemble existing species?
A

Variations in traits, such as the fur color of rabbits, may be caused by
Sexual Reproduction

What are the 5 evidences of evolution?
Structures, DNA, Fossils, Embryos, and geography
500
The concept that members of each species are seeking the same food, space, and other necessities is known as this.
What is competition?
500
Organisms that have same structure but different function are known as
(1) analogous structure
(2) homologous structure
(3) vestigial structure
(4) adaptations

This type of symbiotic relationship results when one species benefits and the other is neither helped not harmed
What is commensalism?

What caused the change in color of the peppered moth?
(1) renewable resources
(3) nonrenewable resources
(2) solar energy
(4) geothermal energy
(3) nonrenewable resources

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?
Natural Selection
600
Genetic drift is a reduction of alleles in a population. This type of genetic drift is when a small group moves away & start a new population
What is Founder's effect?

The changes in foot structure in a bird population over many generations are shown in the diagram below.
(1) extinction (3) use and disuse
(2) evolution (4) stable gene frequencies
(2) evolution

Which adaptation protected the dark-colored moths from predators?
camouflage

According to Darwin, individuals that grow to be adults
(1) transmit characteristics that they acquired to their offspring.
(2) tend to produce fewer offspring than those that do not survive.
(3) are the ones best adapted to live in their environment.
(4) will bring about unfavorable changes in the species.
(3) are the ones best adapted to live in their environment.

The bones of this ocean animal have been examined and proven that their ancestors at one time walked on land. They are distantly related to the hippopotamus.
What is a whale?
