History
The father of Evolution
Who was Charles Darwin?
those organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive and reproduces
What is natural selection?
The diagram used to show evolutionary relationships
What are Phylogenetic Trees?
Differences between the members of the same species
What is variation?
Theory of Inheritance by Acquired Characteristics
Who was Lamarck?
both extremes are favored. If you have 3 people, small, medium, and tall, the small and tall are favored over the medium.

What is
More offspring are produced rather than survive.
Organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive and reproduce.
There are variations within a species.
Mutations can lead to a new species.
A population tends to grow until it exhausts the resources of its environment which leads to competition for resources.
Came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection independent to Darwin but did not become the father of evolution
Who was Wallace?
Why do giraffes have long necks? Compare and contrast Lamarck's Explanation with Darwin's
Lamarck would have said since the ancestor stretched its long neck for food, the offspring would inherit that characteristic. That is incorrect. Darwin would have said that giraffes that stretched their long necks for food would successfully survive and reproduce. That is correct
Domain contains ONLY multicellular organisms
What is Eukarya?
five pieces of evidence to support Darwin's theory of evolution
What is Fossils, Comparative Morphology, Comparative Biochemistry, Comparative Embryology, Biogeography
