Evidence for Evolution
Miscellaneous
100

A theory (explanation) supported by evidence for how populations change over time

What is evolution?

100
The survival and reproduction of the organisms that are genetically best fit for their environment
What is the definition of Natural Selection?
100

The number of parents needed for asexual reproduction

1

100
These revealed evolutionary changes over a long period of time with physical evidence... Studied by Mary Anning.
What are fossils?
100
The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is Fitness?
200
The father of evolution.

Who is Charles Darwin?

200

The name of the islands where Darwin studied and gathered his evidence on Natural Selection

What are The Galapagos Islands?

200

How many gametes are involved in sexual reproduction

2 (sperm and egg)

200

Structures that have different functions in different animals that come from the same embryonic tissues

Homologous structures

200
The first set of organisms that lived on Earth
What is Bacteria?
300

Evolution can only occur is this is involved

What is mutations?

300
The variety of dog and cat breeds that we have today are a product of _________ _____________.
What is Artificial Breeding (Selective Breeding)
300

Name and describe the 4 types of asexual reproduction we discussed in class

Binary Fission

Budding

Regeneration

Vegetative Propagation

300

Explain how the development of different species supports evolution

Embryos are similar across many species.

300
A group of organisms that look alike and can reproduce
What is a species?
400
A variation in an organism that helps it survive
What is Adaptation?
400

This person said that animals change based on their behaviors which led them to evolve. For example, digging with claws would lead to larger claws.

who is Lamarck?
400

This is the main benefit of sexual reproduction

What is increased genetic variation
400

When a population changes randomly and loses genetic variation.

What is genetic drift?

500

All species share this in their evolutionary history.

What is a Common Ancestor?

500

A little child catches a fly and pulls its wings off. The fly actually lives a better life, but does not pass its lack of wings on to its offspring. Explain why

This is not a mutation and cannot be passed down through the genes.

500
Name 2 disadvantages of asexual reproduction.

- lack of genetic variation

- mutations can kill off a population

- lack of adaptability

500

Why is it is important for new individuals to come into a population?

It can introduce new traits
