CGHS Evolution
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| produce food | autotroph |
| obtain food other sources | heterotroph |
| homologus structures are evidence of evolution | comparative anatomy |
| variation which is inherited form parent then organism can overpopulate creating reproductive advantage | natural selection |
| preserved evidence of an organism | fossil |
| model showing major abiotic and biotic events in Earth's history | geologic time scale |
| explains that eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells | endosymbiont theory |
| theory of natural selection | C. Darwin |
| when an extreme version of a trait makes an organism more fit | directional selection |
| when the average verison of a trait makes an organism more fit | stabilizing selection |
| when average verison of a trait is not fit and extreme version is fit | disruptive selection |
| speciation proceeds in small steps | gradualism |
| speciation proceeds as result of rapid spurts of genetic change which causes species to change quickly | punctuated equilibrium |
| wings of birds and insects - same function but different construction, not common ancestor | analogus structures |
| similar structure inherited from common ancestor | homologous structure |
