| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Species | A specific animal type which has adapted to it's environment |
| Adaptation | How the random mutations in DNA allow a creature to survive and reproduce better in it's environment, passing the better traits down. |
| Evolution | A species adapting over a course of time to become a new and better fit species in an environment |
| Scientific Theory | A well tested concept which explains manyn observations |
| Natural Selection | How a species dies off while the better fit one survives |
| Variation | Difference |
| Fossil | Petrified skeleton of a long-dead creature |
| Extinct | Complete species death |
| Gradualism | Evolutionary theory that evolution happens slowly, bet steadily, over a course of hundreds of years |
| Punctured Equilibria | Evolutionary theory that evolution happens in short, rapid bursts, seperated by hundreds of years |
| Homologous Structures | Body parts structurally similar in related species |
| Fossil Record | All the fossils that scientists have collected |
| 4 Natural Selection Factors | 1.Selection 2:Overproduction 3:Competition 4:Variation |
