Evolution Retest

Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace came up with this theory

• Natural Selection

• Mutation

• Acquired Characteristcs

• Principle of Common Descent

Occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution

• macroevolution

• microevolution

• coevolution

• parallel evolution

when two or more related species have similar evolutionary adaptations

• macroevolution

• microevolution

• coevolution

• parallel evolution

Evolutionary change on a small scale

• macroevolution

• microevolution

• coevolution

• parallel evolution

Evolutionary change on a large scale; Principle of common descent

• macroevolution

• microevolution

• coevolution

• parallel evolution

Natural selection is known as

• family descent

• survival of the fittest

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

Process by which unrelated organisms develop similarities due to living in similar environments

• family descent

• survival of the fittest

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

Process by which closely related organisms develop differences due to living in different environments;

the accumulation of differences between groups

• family descent

• survival of the fittest

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

Structures with the same parts have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestry

• vestigial structures
• homologous structures
• adaptive radiation
• fossil

If an organism has a vestigial structure, that structure likely once had a function in a(n)

• close relative
• early ancestor
• unrelated organism
• embryological stage
