The two men who first suggested that the Earth is many millions of years old.
Who is James Hutton and Charles Lyell
The factors that Malthus hypothesized would keep the human population in check.
What are war, famine and disease.
The man whose theory of evolution includes the concept that new organs in a species appear as a result of the actions of organisms as they use or fail to use body structures.
Who is Lamarck?
He is considered to be the Father of Evolution.
Who is Charles Darwin?
This man included the concept of the tendency toward perfection in his theory of evolution.
Who is Lamarck?
According to Darwin’s conditions, in nature there is a tendency for this.
What is overpopulation?
According to Darwin’s conditions, only organisms with this are suitable to survive in the environment.
What is variation?
According to Darwin’s conditions, this rate is high.
What is the death rate?
Organisms that survive get to do these two things.
What is reproduce and pass on their genes?
The section of DNA that codes for a trait goes by this name.
What is a gene?
According to Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection, individuals who survive are the ones best adapted for their environment. Their survival is due to the possession of this type of adaptation.
What are inherited adaptations?
The definition of this term is the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its specific environment.
What is fitness?
When lions prey on a herd of antelopes, some antelopes are killed and some escape. This concept of natural selection might be used to describe this situation.
What is survival of the fittest?
The Galapagos finches are excellent examples of this process of evolution.
What is speciation?
A group of animals with this type of variation have the best chance of survival if the environment changed over a long period of time.
What is genetic variation?
This piece of evidence provides information about the history of life and illustrates that most species have changed over time.
What is the fossil record?
This piece of evidence is a type of body structure that can be seen in many different species.
What is a homologous body structure?
This type of organ is inherited from a species ancestors but is not used
What is a vestigal organ?
This type of evidence can be seen when looking at specie’s DNA.
What is comparative genetics?
This type of statement is based on many pieces of collected evidence.
What is a theory?
In the process of evolution this changes over time.
What is a population?
According to this concept, living and extinct species evolved from the same ancestors.
What is the decent with modification?
Two individuals that mate in nature and produce young which can reproduce are members of this type of group.
What is a species?
If an organism does not match its environment, this is its fate.
What is death?
If a scientist studies the variation of a trait the results will show this type of curve.
What is a bell shaped curve?
