4. One of Darwin’s Conclusions was that the Finches on the Galapagos Islands were descendants of whom?

5. South American Ancestor/Finches

6. The Galapagos Islands are off the coast of what continent?

7. South America

8. Darwin observed that all the species of finches on the Galapagos had similar physical characteristics. What idea of Darwin’s does this support?

9. Common Ancestor

10. What adaptations did the Galapagos Finches have?

11. Different Beaks for Different Food Sources

12. Why evolve?

13. To increase fitness and survival

14. How many main points are there to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection?

15. Five

16. This main point explains why all humans look different.

17. There are variations within a population.

18. This main point explains why populations size doesn’t double
Exponentially.

19. More offspring are produced than can survive.

20. This main point explains why giraffes with short necks die out.

21. Some variations are better than others.

22. This explains why there are more and more long necked giraffes each generation and less and less short necked.

23. The offspring that survive have better variations.

24. In nature, population size tends to remain what?

25. Stable!

26. Environmental resources are what?

27. Limited!

28. Individuals of a population ______ in their characteristics with no two being exactly alike.

29. Vary!

30. Much of the variation between individuals is what?

31. Genetic!

32. Define Natural Selection.

33. The unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce leads to a gradual change in a population, with favorable characteristics accumulating over generations

34. What are the 3 concepts of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection?

35. Struggle for Existence Survival of the Fittest
Descent with Modification

36. This concept refers to competition for food, mates, space, water, etc.

37. Struggle for Existence

38. This concept refers to new species arising from a common ancestor replacing less fit species

39. Descent with Modification

40. This concept refers to individuals being better adapted to survive and reproduce.

41. Survival of the Fittest

42. Did Darwin fail to convince the majority of biologists and other educated lay people in the late 19th century that life evolves and did his book On the Origin of Species not sell well?

43. NOOOOOO!!

44. This term means : the slow , gradual change in a population of organisms over time

45. Evolution!

46. This term refers to the unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce leads to a gradual change in a population, with favorable characteristics accumulating over generations

47. Natural Selection!

48. This term is: an individual’s contribution of genes to the next generation

49. Fitness!

50. This term means: an inherited Characteristic That Increases an Organisms Chance for Survival

51. Adaptation!

52. This idea means that organisms change with time, diverging from a common form

53. Descent with Modification!

55. Describe 5 adaptations that primates have

56. Eyes:. This gives good binocular vision
Eyes:. This gives good binocular vision. Teeth: Incisors, canines, and molars.
Brain: A lot of development in the neo-cortex which implies heavier reliance on learning and memory.
Skeletal layout: Fairly generalized so it can be used for many different modes of locomotion.
