| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| How a new kind of plant or animal species is created. | Speciation |
| Inability of a species to breed successfully with related species due to geographical, behavioral, physiological, or genetic barriers or differences. | Reproductive Isolation |
| Ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic. | Antibiotic Resistance |
| Inheritable genetic change in the sensitivity of a pest population that is reflected in the repeated failure of a product to achieve the expected level of control. | Pesticide Resistance |
| Variety of living organisms in a given area. | Biodiversity |
| Measure of the relative contribution that an individual trait makes to the next generation. | Evolutionary Fitness |
| Natural selection and the process of bacteria taking over a cell is how bacteria does this. | Become Resistant to Antibiotics. |
| Antibiotic resistance is an example of this process. | Natural Selection |
| Biologists classify organisms by giving them a specific name, typically in these languages. | Latin + Greek |
| Device used to easily and quickly identify an unknown organism. | Dichotomous Key |
| Evolutionary relationships among various biological species based upon the physical and/or genetic characteristics. | What Cladograms show |
| Number of offspring that’s produced that survives to reproductive age | How Evolutionary Fitness is Measured |
