different forms of a trait within a population

• Variation

organisms that have structures with different functions

• Homologous Structure

• Analogous Structure

• Vestigial Structure

• Convergent Evolution

the study of ancestral relationships among various groups of organisms

• Phylogeny

• Taxonomy

• Biodiversity

• Ecology

organisms that have similar structures with the same function

• Analogous Structure

• Homologous Structure

• Vestigial Structure

• Convergent Evolution

by a mutation

• New Traits Formation

• Genetic Stability

• Cellular Division

• Environmental Adaptation

by a mutation

• Mutation and DNA

• Genetic Drift

• Natural Selection

• Chromosomal Aberration

It can code for a trait that increases its chance of surviving long enough to reproduce.

• Beneficial Mutation

• Neutral Mutation

• Random Mutation

It can code for a trait that decreases its chance of surviving long enough to reproduce.

• Harmful Mutation

• Beneficial Mutation

• Neutral Mutation

• Adaptive Mutation

a change in DNA
