| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are some adaptations that Darwin noticed on his trip? | Same species with different beak structures help in obtaining food |
| What are some examples of Scientific theory in this chapter? | diversity of organisms, the remains of ancient organisms, and darwin's theory of evolution |
| Who was Darwin and what did he write that proposed a groundbreaking theory? | Darwin was a british naturalist, who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection |
| What traits can be acted upon by natural selection? | Inherited traits |
| What type of evidence do scientists use to determine evolutionary relationships? | They use shared derived characteristics on a branching tree diagram |
| How do fossils form? | Fossils form when dead animals get buried and the sediment around them and the hard parts of their bodies turn to stone |
| How can comparative anatomy be used to provide evidence of evolution? | It shows a similarity in body structure that are inherited from an early ancestor. |

| What is the difference between genus and species? | A genus is a group of similar, closely related species, but species is physically similar and can produce fertile offspring. |
| What is the highest level of organization for living organisms? Which level has the most closely related organisms? | Domain= highest level. Species= most closely related organisms. |
| Mnemonic device for the 8 levels of classification | Do- Domain Kids- Kingdom Prefer- Phylum Candy- Class Over- Order Fried- Family Green- Genus Spinach- Species |
| Branching tree diagram | a diagram that shows probable evolutionary relationships among organisms |
| How does a branching tree diagram group organisms? | By the shared derived characteristics |
