Missouri Biology End of Course

Two of the organisms seemed to be more closely related to each other than to the other vertebrates. The type of evidence shown is using the field of — 

• comparing anatomy/body structures 

• DNA sequences 

• biochemistry

• fossil record

DNA replication is important for mitosis because...

• it results in a variety of traits amongst the same type of cells

• it ensures more genetic material in the strongest cells

• it ensures both cells will have identical, correct genetic information

• it creates variety amongst cells

Process in which traits become more/less common due to some traits making it more likely for individuals to survive and reproduce

• Natural Selection

• Mutation

• Distribution

• Adaptation

Why/how do population change over time?

• The environment changes

• There is a heritable trait which doesn't help survival

• Natural selection causes a trait to become more common in the population

• The organism decides to have a mutation occur
