Intro to Evolution

Who was the first naturalist to study evolution?

• Charles Darwin
• Gregor Mendal
• Carolus Linneaus
• Thomas Edison

This is a process in which organisms gradually change over time.

• Environment
• Competition
• Evolution
• Fossils

This is an inherited trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.

• Evolution
• Population
• Environment
• Adaptation

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

This is an ecological relationship in which two or more organisms depend on the same limited resource.

• Adaptation
• Competition
• Evolution
• Natural selection

This is the trace or remains of an organism that lived long ago, most commonly preserved in sedimentary rock.

• Competiton
• Extinction
• Evidence
• Fossil

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

• vestigial structures
• homologous structures
• adaptive radiation
• fossil

The diagram shows fossils in different rock layers. Which of these statements about the age of these fossils is most likely correct?

• Fossil A and C are the same age

• Fossil B is older than fossil C

• Fossils A is older than fossil B

• Fossil D is older than fossil C

Vestigial structure is 

• Plant cells that support the plants

• Animal bones found from fossil

• A branch of interbreeding species

• Seems no use such as our wisdom teeth
