What is genetic variation?
Organs of many animals are so reduced in size that they are merely traces of homologous organisms are known as this.
What are vestigial organs?
Some members of a population are more likely to survive changing environmental conditions and reproduce because they have different and superior traits. The presence of different traits within members of a species

Species forming due to a physical barrier like a river
What is allopatric speciation
The process where the best adapted individuals of a species are the ones most likely to survive and reproduce, thereby passing their beneficial traits on to their offspring.
What is natural selection?
Any inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of survival is known as this.
What is an adaptation?
Structures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryologic tissues are known as this.
What are homologous structures?

What is natural selection?
The concept that members of each species compete regularly for food, space, and other necessities is known as this.
