An event is a widespread and rapid decrease in the amount of life on earth.

the study of anotomical structures.

a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only, it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization.

Survival of the fittest

a phrase that originated in evolutionary theory as an alternative way of describing the mechanism of natural selection.

a change or difference in condition, amount, or level

One of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. Often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Wikipedia

a tenet in evolutionary theory maintaining that species evolve slowly and continuously over long periods of geological time.

any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment.

When an allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences,

of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. This also proves to be the basic level at which evolution occurs.

study of the structure of animals and their parts

A change of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal genetic element.

the change in allele frequencies that occur over time within a population due to four different processes: mutation, selection, gene flow, and genetic drift.

Evolution Part 2

Question	Answer
mass extinction	An event is a widespread and rapid decrease in the amount of life on earth.
field of anatomy	the study of anotomical structures.
Asexual Reproduction	a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only, it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization.
Survival of the fittest	a phrase that originated in evolutionary theory as an alternative way of describing the mechanism of natural selection.
Variation	a change or difference in condition, amount, or level
Species	One of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. Often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. Wikipedia
gradualism	a tenet in evolutionary theory maintaining that species evolve slowly and continuously over long periods of geological time.
adaptations	any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment.
genetic equilibrium	When an allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences,
Gene pool	of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. This also proves to be the basic level at which evolution occurs.
anatomy	study of the structure of animals and their parts
Mutations	A change of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal genetic element.
Microevolution	the change in allele frequencies that occur over time within a population due to four different processes: mutation, selection, gene flow, and genetic drift.
