Evolution Review

#1 The result of genetic changes that occur in constantly changing environments Darwinism Inheritance Evolution

#2 No longer in existence A. Extinct B. Endangered C. Adaptation

#3 Change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment Phenotype Artificial Selection Adaptation

#4 The accumulation of geological data that give us clues about the past and its taxonomic history A. Fossil Record B. Comparative Anatomy C. Adaptive Radiation

#5 Separation of populations of a species by means such as distance, mountains, rivers, or oceans, that lead to reproductive separation of those populations. Biodiversity Geographic Isolation Artificial Selection

#6 degree of variation of life forms within a given ecosystem, biome, or on an entire planet. Inheritance Biodiversity Speciation

The formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution #7 The formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution Speciation Adaptation Naturalism

#8 how DNA, RNA & proteins play a role in evolution. Organisms are similar but at a genetic level, differences are observed. Fossil Record Molecular Evidence Fitness

Homologous Structures Vestigial Structures #11 Nonfunctional remains of organs that were functional in ancestral species and may still be functional in related species. Embryology Homologous Structures Vestigial Structures

#12 Acquiring traits/genes from one's parents. Traits such as eye color or hair color are passed from a parent through genes. Inheritance Natural Selection Evolution

Homologous Structures Natural Structures #13 Organs or limbs differ in form or function, but contain SAME basic structures Vestigial Structures Homologous Structures Natural Structures

#14 Process where two species evolve in response to changes in each other. Over time they become dependent upon one another Co-Evolution Di-Evolution Tri-Evolution

#15 Species separated by geography, but living in similar conditions, evolve in similar ways. Convergent Evolution Geographic Isolation MesoEvolution

Single species evolve into diverse forms living in different ways. #16 Single species evolve into diverse forms living in different ways. Co-evolution Adaptive Radiation Geographic Radiation

#17 Nature provides genetic variation and humans select desirable traits for further mating (ex: dog breeds) Natural Selection Artificial Selection Convergent Selection
