Individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce
Survival of the fittest
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common ancestor
The ability to look at organisms from the past and then compare them to current species
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common environment.
Individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully
Fossil records -
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common ancestor
The ability to look at organisms from the past and then compare them to current species
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common environment.
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common environment.
Homologous structures -
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common ancestor
The ability to look at organisms from the past and then compare them to current species
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common environment.
Structures that are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of their original function
Analogous structures -
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common ancestor
The ability to look at organisms from the past and then compare them to current species
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common environment.
Structures that are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of their original function
Vestigial structures -
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common ancestor
The ability to look at organisms from the past and then compare them to current species
Any structure that is the same among different organisms due to a common environment.
Structures that are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of their original function
Embryology -
structures that are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of their original function
the study of embryos from different species to identify common characteristics
the distribution of fossils can tell us where an organism originally came from.
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
Geographic distribution -
structures that are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of their original function
the study of embryos from different species to identify common characteristics
the distribution of fossils can tell us where an organism originally came from.
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
Biochemistry -
structures that are inherited from ancestors but have lost much or all of their original function
the study of embryos from different species to identify common characteristics
the distribution of fossils can tell us where an organism originally came from.
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
speciation -
the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
Separation of species or populations so that they cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring
slow evolutionary changes over a long period of time
Reproductive Isolation -
Process by which a single organism reproduces by itself
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
Separation of species or populations so that they cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring
slow evolutionary changes over a long period of time
Asexual reproduction -
Process by which a single organism reproduces by itself
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
process by which two organisms reproduce together
slow evolutionary changes over a long period of time
Sexual reproduction -
Process by which a single organism reproduces by itself
comparison of DNA and RNA similarities among different species
process by which two organisms reproduce together
slow evolutionary changes over a long period of time
Biodiversity -
tendency of species populations to remain stable
The number of different species in an area

a species that no longer has any known living individuals.
Ecosystem Stability -
tendency of species populations to remain stable
The number of different species in an area
process by which two organisms reproduce together
a species that no longer has any known living individuals.
Extinction -
tendency of species populations to remain stable
The number of different species in an area
process by which two organisms reproduce together
a species that no longer has any known living individuals.
