Biodiversity and Evolution

This is the term used to describe the variety of life on Earth and all of the natural processes.

• Life

• Biodiversity

• Evolution

This is the gradual change of structure and function of an organism due to changes in the environment.

• Evolution

This refers to the DNA/RNA patterns.

• Fossil evidences

• Anatomical evidences

• Molecular evidences

• Embryological evidences

This refers to the remnants of ancient organisms.

• Fossil evidences

• Anatomical evidences

• Molecular evidences

• Embryological evidences

This is a branching diagram or “tree” showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities – their phylogeny – based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.

• Phylumgenetic tree

• Phylogenetic tree

• Phylusgenetic tree

• Phylugenetic tree

This is an early stage of development in organisms.

• fetus

• embryo

• baby

• zygote

A type of mechanism of evolution where a change in frequency of gene variations in a population.

• mutation

• genetic drift

• genetic flow

• natural selection

A mechanism of evolution where migrating individuals transport genes.

• mutation

• genetic drift

• genetic flow

• natural selection

A type of mechanism where there is a change in genetic material.

• mutation

• genetic drift

• genetic flow

• natural selection

These are those that are fundamentally similar but may not necessarily perform the same function which suggests common origin.

• Analogous Structures

• Homologous Structures
