MAAP Review L.8.4
Adaptation and Diversity
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| These are structures which are similar in different organisms because they evolved in a similar environment, yet do not have a common ancestor. | analogous |
| This is the actions of organisms in response to stimuli. | behavior |
| This scientist is known for his work with natural selection, and he is known as the Father of Evolution. | Charles Darwin |
| This is the study of the early development of an organism, and it is quite often used to show similarities and differences between different organisms in their early stages of development. | embryology |
| This is a change in the genetic makeup of a population or species over time. | evolution |
| This is the ceasing of the existence of any particular species. | extinction |
| This can occur when part of a population of a species becomes separated from the remainder, they may over time evolve different characteristics from the parent population. | geographic isolation |
| These are physical features shared by organisms with common ancestry; they may have the same structure, but different functions developmentally mature organisms. | homologous |
| This is the process of organisms adapting to their environments over time. | natural selection |
| This phrase, found in Darwin's Origin of Species, suggests that species adapt and change by natural selection and the changes aid in the survival of the organism. | Survival of the fittest |
