Evolution Vocab

Evolution is

• the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations

• Study of the body structures of different species of animals in order to understand the adaptive changes

• An unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development

• changes that occur day to in an organisms life

what is a species?

• a group of organisms that make the same nests
