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 |
