The process of organisms changing over time
What is evolution
100
Process by which pieces of DNA, from the genes of one organism are transferred to another organism.
What is gene splicing
100
Remains or traces of organisms that lived long ago.
What are fossil records
100
The study of parts or structures of living things is called...
What is anatomy
100
An organism in its very early stages of development before it is born
What is an embryo
200
Characteristics that allow an organism to be better able to survive and reproduce in their environment
What is adaptation
200
An organism whose genetic makeup has been modified using recombinant DNA methods
What is a GMO
200
The fossil record shows that the earliest organisms were what?
What are simple living organisms
200
Body part that is reduced in size and doesn't seem to have a function. Give an example
What is a vestigial structure, the appendix
200
Scientists use the comparative anatomy of embryos to determine what
What is if they are alike
300
Process by which organisms that are best suited for their environment survive to pass on their traits
What is natural selection
300
Intentional Breeding of plants or animals to reproduce a specific/desired trait
What is artificial selection
300
The fossil record shows that the earliest organisms most likely lived where?
What is in water
300
Traits that appear to be very similar in form or function
What are homologous structures
300
The evidence indicates that organisms with similar embryos probably evolved from what
What is a common ancestor
400
Why is a harmful trait or a not beneficial trait termed as a deleterious trait, what does this mean?
It does not support the survivability of the organism, and may hinder their ability to live to reproduce, thus this trait may get eliminated out of the gene pool overtime
400

People who carry two of what alleles will express the traits? 

Dominant or recessive

400
Fossils show that the earliest organisms evolved into what?
What are complex organisms
400
This is a type of diagram that is used to show the relationships of how modern and past organisms are related
What is a phylogenetic tree
400
At the embryonic stage, fish and humans both have gill/gill slits, however humans lose them as they develop and fish keep theirs, this demonstrates an __________ ___________ among all vertebrate species
What is an evolutionary relationship
500
Overtime through natural selection, when the dynamics of a physical trait change in a species population due to environment pressures, the species did not suddenly change appearance, what did change?
What is the genotype/genes
500
Even though there are cons to GMOs, why are they so prevalent, what are the benefits?
What is answers may vary
500
What are the two methods used to determine the age of a fossil
What is relative dating and radioactive dating
500
The theory behind a phylogenetic tree is that all of the organisms in that tree evolved from what?
What is a common ancestor
500
What is another trait that some species have in utero that they lose overtime that supports the evidence for evolution
What is a tail
