all of the above
The hypothesis that physical structures with no known purpose are leftovers from an ancestor.
Homologous Structure

Anatomical Analogy
Developmental Homology
Populations of organisms change over time from inherited genetic changes
Darwin
Evolution
Common Ancestor
Incomplete Dominance
Popularized natural selection with his book On
the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859
after his observations sailing on the HMS Beagle.
Curie
Hooke
Linnaeus
Darwin
Favorable genetic traits are passed on causing a survival advantage in a particular environment.
speciation
natural selection
cladogram
inherent danger
The theory that all living things are descendants of one
original living cell and evolved via natural selection.
Darwinism
cladogram
metaphase
common ancestor
The purposeful breeding of two individuals to produce desired traits in offspring.
Also known as selective breeding.
Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Unnatural Selection
Phylogenetics
A diagram that shows the theory of Evolution from a Common Ancestor.

Natural Selection
Artificial Selection
Branching Tree
A branching diagram that shows evolutionary relationships between species
Root System

Adaptive Radiation
All species evolving from a common ancestor.
Major changes.
Microevolution
Law of Inheritance
Gene Pool
Macroevolution
Within a species, there can be changes in allele frequency causing variation.

A male spider has a leg snapped off by a human trying to smash it. It cannot do the "dance" to perfection. The first female spider who sees him dance decides to eat him. What types of isolation is this?
Behavior Isolation
Geographical Isolation
Temporal Isolation
Speciation
Babies born before their due date (premature) often have many complications, and babies born after their due date (post mature) can be stillborn or die shortly after birth. What types of selection is this?
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection
Stabilizing Selection
Natural Selection
In a species of bird, males with really colorful feathers attract females, and really dull coloration helps camouflage from predators. Males with medium coloration aren't selected for by females. What type of selection is this?
Directional Selection
Disruptive Selection
Stabilizing Selection
Natural Selection
