| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe contribution Francesco Redi | disproved spontaneous generation using mean in jars and flies |
| describe contribution - Louis Pasteur | disproved spontaneous generation using microbes in broth |
| describe contribution - Stanley Miller & Harold Urey | proved that abiogenesis COULD happen; they recreated early earth's atmosphere and results were that an amino acid (organic molecule) was formed from inorganic materials |
| describe contribution- Lynn Margulis | compared mitochondria and chloroplasts to Prokaryotes to show that Eukaryotas were likely create through endosymbiosis of two Prokaryotes. Her theory was called the ENDOSYMBIOTIC theory. |
| describe contribution- Charles Darwin | developed his theory of evolution by way of natural selection: wrote a book that detailed his findings and how he arrived at his theory. |
| Describe contribution- Alfred Russel Wallace | Independently came up with his own theory of natural selection around the same time as Charles Darwin. |
| describe- Fossil record | Compared fossils to similar, current organisms to establish relatedness, looked at how they were similar and how they were different. |
| describe- comparative anatomy | compared similarities and differences between similar parts of organisms to establish lineage and to compare and contrast parts of those that did not share a common ancestor. |
| describe- comparative embryology | compare the embryos, as well as the growth and development of organisms to each other. |
| describe- compare molecules | compare molecules, such as proteins and DNA, of organisms to other organisms to establish relatedness. |
| describe- biogeography | comparing similar organisms in similar environments all over the world, looking at similarities and differences to establish lineage |
| describe- artificial selection | looking at the changes resulting from human interference, such as domestication of animals and breeding plants and animals for the purpose of creating organisms |
| define- Homologous structure | similar structures that are compared to similar organisms who have a common ancestor |
| define- vestigial structure | structures that are present in a species that are reduced in size and are no longer functional, it is believed that these structures were functional and served a purpose in an ancestor |
| define- Analogous structure | similar structures that are compared to similar organisms who DO NOT have a common ancestor. |
| define- Mimicry | a species that has adapted to resemble another species, maybe a more deadlier species |
| define- fitness | is a measure of how well a trait ensures the reproductive success of the individual |
| define- camouflage | a species that has adapted to blend in with its environment |
| define- adaptation | a population that is changed or changes so as to become suitable to a new or changed environment. |
