Question | Answer |
---|---|
A trait that helps an oranism survive and reproduce | Adaptation |
A gradual change in a species over time. | Evolution |
The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species | Natural Selection |
A well-tested concept that explains a wide range of observations | Scientific Theory |
A group of similar organisms that can mate with each other and produce fertile offsrping | Species |
Any difference between individuals of the same species | Variations |

What did Darwin observe on the Galapagos Islands that he thought was the result of evolution? | Different adaptations among organisms |
Why are variations needed for natural selection to occur? | If not for variations all organisms would be equally adapted to their environment and equally likely to survive and reporduce |
What is geographic isolation? | organisms become isolated from the reswt of the species and remains separated long enough to evolve different trait |
What is a dichotomus key? | A tool used to identify an organism |
How does a dichotomus key work? | Pairs of opposing questions or statements about observable traits that eventually lead to the identity of an object or organism. |
