| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| species | a group of similar organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that could also mate and reproduce |
| What did Linnaeus's developed (1707-1778) | A classification system for living things and variations within said living things |
| What did Lamarck want to do (1744-1789) | find out why animals came to be |
| What was Lamarck's hypothesis | Organisms developed their traits by selectively using them or not using them. |
| What was Lamarck's contribution to the theory of evolution | change in the species takes small gradual steps, and simple organisms. over time, become more complex |
| What did Charles Lyell contribute to the theroy of evolution | The Earth is much older than 6k years, the original estimate of the earth's age at the time. They suggested this by studying rocks and fossils. |
| What did Mary Anning contribute to the theory of evolution | She reconstructed fossils, which made scientists realize that |
| what is a naturalist | people who observes and studies the natural world |
| what was Darwin's thought process while creating the theory of evolution | animals could change over time -> animals share a common ancestor -> animals could adapt to their environments |
| What was Darwin's Hypothesis | because animals not adjusted to their environments face different conditions, species would change over generations to adapt to this. |
| What is a scientific theory | a well-tested explanation for a wide range of observations and experimental results |
| Mechanism | A natural process in which something takes place |
| who discovered natural selection at the same time as Darwin in 1858 | Alfred Russel Wallace |
| When did natural selection make it's first appearance publicly | The Origin of Species |
| What must there be for natural selection to work | competition, the struggle for food, water, and shelter |
| What is predominance of a trait | When a trait increases a population and the trait increases |
| what is the suppression of a trait | When a less helpful trait decrease |
| Who discovered that genes were inherited | Gregor Mendel |
| What's epigenetics | The study of small changes on DNA that turn genes on or off that does not change the gene code at all |
| Can a change in your epigenetic dna occur during your lifetime | yes |
| Example of epigenic | if you smoke, your grandchild could have asthma |
| Why was Darwins theory oversimplified | He lacked mutations |
| What are a few ways mutations could occur. | an error while a cell is dividing and exposure to environmental factors like radiation |
| What is coevolution | two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time |
| What is a fossil | preserved remains or traces of living things |
| What is micro evolution | a small gradual change overtime within a species |
| what are two ways an impression could come out as | a mold or a cast |
| What is a body fossil | part of an organism preserved |
| What is a trace fossil | traces of an organism preserved |
| What is a clue an animal has a common ancestor | if they share similarities with fossil records |
| What are homologous structures | structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor |
| What are the three types of evolutionary changes | gradual rapid and extinction |
