Match the following
Mutations
any change in a DNA sequence.
Non-random mating (sexual selection)
movement of genes into/out of a population.

Match the following
vestigial structures

homologous structures
Structures with little or no function to an organism; could be leftover from an ancestor that had used the structure
analogous structures
similar structures that evolved independently in different organisms due to serving similar purposes; different structurally, but same functionally
