Organs/structures found on different organisms that have similar structures but have evolved different uses for these structures

The study of extinct life.

Organs/structures that have been reduced in size in an organism that suggests that they adapted to life without their use.

First to propose that evolution occurs naturally when individuals best suited to the environment survive and reproduce

A change in DNA sequence, usually occurring because of errors in replication or repair.

The chance of an individual migrating to another population and sharing its genes there.

genetic drift is when

When organisms within a population will have differences.

more organisms will be produced than will survie

Of those organisms that survive, they have a favorable trait that increased their chances of survival called an ...

The number of individuals that an environment can support due to environmental pressures.

A branching diagram that shows a relationship between a number of species.

Reproduction that involves one parent and genetic traits of offspring are an exact copy of the parent.

Reproduction that involves a male and female, and genetic information is inherited from both in the offspring.

The idea that new generations of organisms are different from their parents, and this helps lead to natural selection, and change over time.

Characteristics with similar function and form, but have evolved separately .

The movement of materials and energy through living communities

an ancestor that two or more descendants have in common

the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics.

The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences
