What is fossil evidence? Slide 4B 100
Many organisms have anatomical structures that may have been useful to ancestors but are no longer a necessity for survival in its descendants. B 200
What is a vestigial structure? Whale’s pelvis Wisdom teeth BSlide 4 200

What do all the organisms have in common? B 500
What is embryological evidence (gill slits and tails)?
Process in nature by which organisms that posses favored traits are better suited in their environment to survive, reproduce, thus increasing the frequency of those favorable traits and transmit those traits to future generations. C 100
What is natural selection?
C 200
What is artificial selection? CSlide 4 200
Natural selection states that organisms with favorable traits are more ‘FIT’. How does variation occur? C 300
