| Evolution by natural selection | Darwins theory 1-species change over a period of time 2-the mechanism for this species change is called natural selection. |
| Inheritance | Mendal's theory on how traits are inherited by offspring used pea plant to prove that traits are passed from one generation to the next through genes |
