| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| darwin conducted much of his research on | galapagos islands |
| natural selection is process by which | organisms best suited, survive & reproduce |
| natural selection could not occur with out | genetic variation |
| natural selection causes changes in the | frequency of certain alleles |
| the process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment is known as | adaptation |
| according to darwin, evolution occurs because of | natural selection |
| the major idea that darwin presented in his book the origin of species is | species change over time by natural selection |
| the hypothesis that evolution occurs at a slow, constant rate is known as | gradualism |
| the hypothesis that evolution occurs at an irregular rate through geologic time is known as | punctuated equilibrium |
| theory of evolution predicts that | closely related species will show similarities in nucleotide sequences, if species have changed overtime their genes should have changed, closely related species will show similarities in amino acid sequences |
| list evidence for evolution | similarities in dan and fossil record, homologous structures |
| list and example of a vestigial structure | human tail bone |
