• the process which organisms change over time.

• the process which organisms that are extinct become revived.

• the process which non-living things fossilize.

Adaptations are:

• physical or behavioral tendencies.

• physical or behavioral characteristics that help an organisms survive and reproduce.

• physical or behavioral characteristics that do not help the organism in any way.

• genetic mutations that have gone wrong.

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

• The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment
• The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor
• The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases
• All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

Why is the mouse population changing over time?

• The light mice can reproduce more successfully than the dark mice
• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because the dark mice taste better
• The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily
• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because they can see the dark mice more easily
