What is descent with modification?
Biological Evolution
The organisms best suited for their environments will reproduce more successfully than others with less desirable traits
Natural Selection
This English scientist, known as the father of modern genetics, conducted experiments with pea plants that laid the foundation for our understanding of heredity and evolution.
Gregor Mendel
What term describes the process by which new species arise from a single ancestral population?
Speciation

Who does evolution effect?
Populations or Species
What term describes the process by which unrelated species develop similar traits due to living in similar environments?
Convergent Evolution
This process, commonly practiced in agriculture, involves humans selectively breeding plants or animals to emphasize certain traits, leading to rapid changes in the population's characteristics.
Artificial Selection
What term describes similar structures found in different species, which suggest a common ancestry and evolutionary relationship?
Homologous Structures
Who is my favorite superhero (Marvel or DC)?
Spiderman or Batman
Who created the theory of Evolution?
Charles Darwin
What term describes the process by which related species become more dissimilar?
Divergent Evolution
What term describes the process in which two or more species influence each other's evolution, often through reciprocal adaptations?
Coevolution
What term describes structures in organisms that have lost their original function over the course of evolution, but still persist in the organism's anatomy?
Vestigial Structures
What is my favorite Video Game?
UFC 5
Name two of the Basic Mechanisms of Evolutionary Change
Natural Selection
Mutation
Migration aka Gene Flow
Genetic Drift
This phenomenon occurs when a large population undergoes a drastic reduction in size, leading to a loss of genetic diversity and an increased impact of genetic drift.
Bottleneck Effect
What term describes the barrier that prevents members of two different species from successfully interbreeding and producing fertile offspring?
Reproductive Isolation
What phenomenon, observed in bacteria and other microorganisms, provides evidence for evolution through the natural selection of traits that confer resistance to antibiotics?
Antibiotic Resistance
What is my favorite Board Game?
Monopoly
This process occurs when individuals or gametes move between populations, introducing new alleles and potentially reducing genetic differences between populations.
Gene Flow or Genetic Drift
When a small group of individuals establishes a new population in a different area, the genetic makeup of the new population may differ from the original population due to this effect.
Founder Effect
What type of speciation occurs when populations become separated by a physical barrier like a mountain range or body of water?
Habitat or Geographical Isolation
What field of study compares the embryonic development of different species, revealing similarities that suggest common ancestry?
Embryology
What is my Zodiac Sign?
Virgo
