A change in alleles throughout a population over time.

Differences in beak type was directly related to what in the finches that Darwin studied
What is food type
100
similarities in characteristics resulting from common ancestry.
What are homologous structures
100
The smallest unit to evolve.
What is a population
200
The origin of new types of organisms from preexisting ancestral types
What is speciation
200
Thomas Malthus supported this in the production of offspring.
What is more offspring are produced than the environment can support.
200
This led to better survival and reproduction within the finch population.
What is ADAPTATIONS
200
Give an example of an homologous structure
What is the bones in a bat wing are similar to those of the human hand.
200
random changes in DNA and recombining alleles are examples of this.
What are variations
300
Change in allele frequencies as a result of selection.

What is competition
300
A method of selection in which humans influence the traits.
What is artificial selection
300
These structures indicate a distant evolutionary relationship.
What is analogous structures

400
Established extinction as fact
Who is Georges Cuvier
400

What is fish as aquatic vertebrates, whales as aquatic mammals
400
A new population by a small group of individuals and by chance rare traits are present
What is the founder effect

Who is Alfred Russel Wallace
500
The name of the ship that Darwin traveled the world.
What is the HMS beagle
500
Explain Darwins finches and how they emerged on the islands.
What is variation existed in the populations that led to adaptations eventually leading to new species.
500
similar ecological roles, similar environments, similar adaptations - not closely related
What is parallel evolution
500
Explain the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
What is a mathematical concept that measures alleles within a population. If the alleles do not change over time - evolution is not occurring.
