This French scientist believed that animals changed because they needed to change...he did not have any evidence to support this hypothesis
Who is Jean Baptiste-Lamarck
100
Both are supported models/speeds of evolution
What is gradualism and punctuated equilibrium
100
The four principles of natural selection
What is overproduction, variation, competition, survival of the fittest
100
Biotic or abiotic factors in an environment that restrict the number of individuals in an environment
What are limiting factors

The Beast of Gevaudan
Who is Mason?
200
Traveled on the HMS Beagle all over the world and stopped on the Galapagos Islands and observed finches. After many observations, came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Who is Charles Darwin.
200
The fast model of evolution where genes are radically changed from one generation to the next, causing a new species to form
What is punctuated equilibrium
200
Too many offspring for the environment to handle
What is overproduction
200
Light, air, water, soil, etc.
What is abiotic factors
200
The birthday of Darwin
What is 2-12-1809
300
Published in 1859 by Charles Darwin
What is "The Origin of Species"
300
The slow, ongoing process of evolution that takes several millions of year and includes intermediate species
What is gradualism
300
Individuals are born with differences (ex. different colored fur, big and small ears, long or short necks)
What is variation
300
Competitors, weather, fire, predators, available habitat
What are limiting factors
300
I sent you a bottle of sparkling apple juice
Did you get it?
400
Process in which the best suited individual survives, reproduces and passes on DNA to another generation
What is natural selection
400
Fossil records support this model of evolution
What is gradualism AND punctuated equilibrium
400
Individuals fight for necessary resources
What is competition
400
The maximum number of individuals of a species the environment can handle
What is carrying capacity
400
Mr. Perez's favorite dessert
What is tiramisu
500
Place the following in order and explain how evolution works: variation, mutation, adaptation
Mutation: permanent changes in genes (DNA) Variation: mutations cause changes, or differences, within a species Adaptation: some variation are good for the individual, allowing them to survive better in their environment
500
Bacteria that become penicillin resistant are proof that this model of evolution is correct
What is punctuated equilibrium
500
The organisms best adapted for their environment survive, reproduce and pass on their DNA to the next generation
What is survival of the fittest
500
The predator population increases, causing the prey population to also increase
What is the predate-prey relationship
500
Mr. Perez's favorite student
