Front

Convergent evolution results in _____ structures

Back

analogous

Front

The similarities of bone structure in the diagram provide evidence of what?

Back

The organisms evolved from a common ancestor.

Front

What type of evidence is shown with the diagram above?

Back

Embryological

Front

A red morph and green morph of an insect lives in the rainforest canopy. You would expect:

Back

the green population to increase and the red to decrease

Front

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Back

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Front

What is convergent evolution?

Back

The process where organisms from different evolutionary backgrounds develop similar traits.

Front

Define homologous structures.

Back

Structures in different species that are similar due to shared ancestry.

Front

What is the significance of embryological evidence in evolution?

Back

It shows similarities in the development of embryos, indicating common ancestry.

Front

Explain the concept of natural selection.

Back

The process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Front

What are advantageous traits?

Back

Traits that increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.
