| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What do we call a useful trait that helps the organism to survive? | Adaptation |
| What are the 3 types of adaptations? | Structural, Behavioral, Functional |
| A useful body part is an _____ adaptation. | Structural |
| A useful habit is a ____ adaptation. | Behavioral |
| A useful chemical made by the body is an ___ adaptation. | Functional |
| What type of adaptation are the wings on a bird? | Structural |
| What type of adaptation is described when a bear hibernates for the winter? | Behavioral |
| What type of adaptation is the venom of a snake? | Functional |
| What is the process by which the entire species gradualy changes over time? | Evolution |
| What do we call the remains of once living organisms? | Fossils |
| In what type of rock can fossils be found? | Sedimentary Rock |
| When body parts of different organisms are similar in shape and function, we say these structures are? | Homologous |
| When two organisms have homologous structures, we say they must have _____ from a common ancestor. | Evolved |
| What theory states that organisms with better adaptations are better able to survive and reproduce? | Natural Selection |
| What are the 4 key points of Natural Selection? | 1. Competition2. Survival of the Fittest3. Overproduction4. Variation |
| What do we call differences in apppearance within a population? | Variations |
| What are 2 causes vof ariations within with a species? | Sexual Reproduction & Mutations |
| When a species make MORE organisms than will likely survive, it is called: | Overproduction |
| When organisms from different species fight for similar resources, they are: | Competing |
| When one organism is born with a more useful trait that helps it to get a resource and live, we call this: | Survival of the fittest |
| Who developed the Theory of Natural Selection? | Charles Darwin |
| What do we call the layers of sedimentary rocks that are filled with fossils from the past? | Fossil Record |
| Where in the fossil record are the OLDEST fossils found? | Bottom |
| Where in the fossil record are the NEWEST, most EVOLVED, fossils found? | Top |
| If fossils are found within the same rock layer, we can assume they are about the ____ age. | Same |
| If a species does not reproduce, they will become | Extinct |
| What happens to a species if the individuals that make it up are NOT born with useful adaptations? | They Die (extinct) |
| What are 4 peices of evidence of evolution? | 1. Fossils2. Fossil Record3. Homologous Bones4. Homologous Embryos |
| A lasting impression, or hollow imprint of a once living organism is called a(n): | Mold Fossil |
| When the entire organism has been preserved in tar, ice or sap, we call this a: | Body Fossil |
| Bite marks, foot prints and animal poop are alll examples of: | Trace Fossils |
| A fossil made out of minerals in the shape of a once living organism is a(n): | Cast Fossil |
| What does "homologous" mean? | When 2 things look the SAME |
| What is an embryo? | An unborn egg |
| If 2 organisms share homologous bones or embryos, scientists beleive the 2 organisms also share a common: | ancestor (distant relative) |
| What might living things compete for? | 1. Food2. Water3. Shelter4. Space |
