3. NATURAL SELECTION A NATURAL PROCESS THAT RESULTS IN THE SURVIVAL OF INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS WHO ADJUST BEST TO THEIR ENVIRONMENTS AND THAT LEADS TO THE PERPETUATION OF THE GENETIC TRAITS THAT ARE BEST SUITED FOR THAT ENVIRONMENT

4. GENETIC DIVERSITY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS IN A SINGLE SPECIES.

5. MUTATION A SUDDEN CHANGE FROM THE PARENT TYPE CAUSED BY A CHANGE IN A GENE OR CHROMOSOME

6. ADAPTATION MODIFICATION OF AN ORGANISM OR ITS PARTS THAT MAKES IT MORE FIT FOR EXISTENCE IN ITS ENVIRONMENT

7. COMPARATIVE ANATOMY THE STUDY OF SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN THE ANATOMIES OF DIFFERENT ORGANISMS

8. PHENOTYPE THE OBSERVABLE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ORGANISM

9. GENOTYPE THE ENTIRE SET OF GENES IN AN ORGANISM, A SET OF ALLELES THAT DETERMINES A PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTIC OR TRAIT (PHENOTYPE)

10. PLATE TECTONICS THE THEORY THAT THE EARTH’S LITHOSPHERE IS DIVIDED INTO TECTONIC PLATES THAT MOVE AROUND THE EARTH

11. HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES STRUCTURES THAT COME FROM A COMMON ANCESTOR OR THE SAME DEVELOPMENTAL ORIGIN

12. ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES STRUCTURES THAT HAVE SIMILAR FUNCTIONS BUT DO NOT DERIVE FROM A COMMON ANCESTOR. EX. Wings of a bee and a bird

13. BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION A SYSTEM USED TO ORGANIZE ORGANISMS INTO CATEGORIES BASED ON ESTABLISHED CRITERIA AKA: TAXONOMY
