Natural selection, evoltion and biomes

Organisms best suited to survive in their environment will reproduce and pass on their characteristics.

• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• adaptation
• Population

A characteristic that improves an individual's ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment.

• Population
• Variation
• adaptation
• competition

This theory says that natural selection can cause populations of species to change over time and that all life on earth shares a common ancestor

• Natural Selection
• Darwin's Theory of Evolution
• Possible Evidence of Evolution
• Genetic variation

A term that typically describes a species that no longer has any known living individuals.

• adaptation
• Extinction
• Population
• Variation

Scientist who studied galapagos finches and other organisms- hypothesized theory of evolution by natural selection

• Robert Brown

• Watson and Crick

• Charles Darwin
• Albert Einstein

biology and medicine concerned with the study of embryos and their development

• Ecosystem
• Community
• Extinction
• embryology

Body parts that share a common function, but not structure

• vestigial structures
• homologous structures
• Natural Selection
• analogous structures

Similar structures in different species that are similar because of common ancestry.

• homologous structures
• Ecosystem
• vestigial structures
• analogous structures

Members of the same species that live in the same area. They can breed together.

• Population
• adaptation
• competition
• Variation

One member of one type of species.

• Organism
• Community
• Variation
• Population
