Who is the father of evolution?
Jean Baptiste Lammarck
Carolous Linnaeus
Watson and Crick
Charles Darwin
What process allowed for earth's atmosphere to become high in Oxygen?
photosynthesis
chemosynthesis
respiration
radiation
The older layers/fossils are found deeper in the ground - the newer layers are towards the top
Law of positioning
law of relative and absolute age
law of fossil age
law of superposition
biological change in living things (species) over time and generations
adaptation
variation
evolution
heritability
a group of organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile offspring
fitness
coevolution
population
species
Mechanism/process by which the environment causes certain variations/traits in a species to be more advantageous - this allows the organisms that display those traits to survive longer and reproduce more
natural selection
divergent evolution
artificial selection
convergent evolution
The mechanism/process by which humans select specific traits in other organisms and then breed for those traits/variations
natural selection
adaptation
artificial selection
evolution
Evolution scientist who developed a classification system to group organisms based on their similarities
charles darwin
carolus linnaeus
jean baptiste lammarck
watson and crick
inherited traits that are selected for over time because they allow the organisms to best survive in their environment
fitness
variations
adaptations
sexual selection
2 species, without a recent common ancestor, that are becoming more alike based on evolving and adapting to similar environments (dolphins and sharks)
convergent evolution
divergent evolution
coevolution
evolution
2 species, with a recent common ancestor, becoming less alike over generations resulting from adapting to different environmental conditions
convergent evolution
divergent evolution
coevolution
evolution
process by which 2 species that evolve together
convergent evolution
divergent evolution
coevolution
evolution
What are the 5 evidences of evolution
fossils
biochemistry
biogeography
embryonic development
anatomy
similar structures that have different functions describes what type of structures
analogous structures
evolved stuctures
homologous structures
anatomical structures
different structures that have similar functions describes what type of structure
analogous structure
evolved structure
homologous structure
anatomical structure
a structure with no known function, buy may have had a function at one time
analogous structure
vestigial structure
homologous structure
anatomical structure
