Question
Answer
Evolution   the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms  
🗑
Charles Darwin   contributed lots to understanding of evolution.  
🗑
   
🗑
Natural variation   differences among individuals of a species  
🗑
Artificial selection   also called selective breeding. It occurs when humans select useful natural variations and produces organisms that look very different from their ancestors.  
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑
Adaptation   any inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival  
🗑
Natural selection   survival of the fittest  
🗑
   
🗑
   
🗑
Evidence for evolution   Found in the fossil record, geographic distribution of living species, homologous structures of organisms, and similarities in early development.  
🗑
Fiches on Galapagos   descended w/ modification from a common ancestor  
🗑
How are there similar but unrelated species?   They came from different ancestors but adapted similarly to their similar conditions.  
🗑
Homologous structures   structures that have different mature froms but develop from the same ebryonic tissues  
🗑
Vestigal organs   so reduced in size they are just vestiges, or traces, of homologous organs in other species  
🗑
Darwin's Theory   Still upheld by research. There is variation in nature, more organisms are produced than can survive, there is a struggle for existance, species change over time.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
