Front

What is extinction?

Back

Extinction occurs when every organism of a species has died.

Front

What is a cladogram?

Back

A cladogram is a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships among various biological species.

Front

What is the founder effect?

Back

The founder effect occurs when a small group of individuals establishes a new population, leading to reduced genetic diversity.

Front

What is the bottleneck effect?

Back

The bottleneck effect is a sharp reduction in the size of a population due to environmental events, leading to a loss of genetic diversity.

Front

What is molecular evidence in evolution?

Back

Molecular evidence refers to DNA and genetic similarities that provide insights into evolutionary relationships.

Front

What is comparative anatomy?

Back

Comparative anatomy is the study of similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.

Front

What is embryology?

Back

Embryology is the study of the development of embryos, which can show similarities among different species.

Front

What is artificial selection?

Back

Artificial selection is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for specific traits.
