Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
show The gradual change of allele frequencies found in a population  
🗑
show Is the slow change of a species over time  
🗑
show Is the slow change of Earth over time  
🗑
show In different organisms, have similar internal structures or embryonic development  
🗑
show In different organisms, have similar function, but different internal structures or embryonic development  
🗑
CLUES ON EARTH PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION   show
🗑
VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES   show
🗑
FOSSIL   show
🗑
show A hard, yellow, transparent material formed by the hardening of resin, a sticky substance produced by trees.  
🗑
show Wooly Mammoth & furry rhinoceros have been found with flesh, skin and hair.  
🗑
PETRIFICATION   show
🗑
BONES   show
🗑
MOLDS   show
🗑
show Form when the molds fill with minerals and harden to form rock; a copy of the organism forms.  
🗑
show The impressions made in mud and then hardens into rock (Ex: animal footprints & leaves)  
🗑
show Relative dating & Absolute dating  
🗑
RELATIVE DATING   show
🗑
show Top layer of sedimentary rock  
🗑
show Bottom layer of sedimentary rock  
🗑
show Any method that determines how long ago an event occurred. (Ex: Radioactive dating)  
🗑
show Measures radioactivity decay in an isotope (Ex: C-14 - 5,370 years, U-238 - 4.5 billion years & K-40 - 1.3 billing years)  
🗑
show A type of rock formed from layers of particles that settled to the bottom of a body of water, often containing fossils  
🗑
show The history of life as determined by the relative age of fossils  
🗑
show Formed when molten material in the crust cooled and hardened. Can be dated using radioactive dating methods.  
🗑
CORRELATION   show
🗑
show Fossils that permit the relative dating of rocks within a narrow time span.  
🗑
show A timetable of the earth's history constructed by geologists  
🗑
show The end of a species when the last individual of that species has died  
🗑
FROM ROCKS AND FOSSILS   show
🗑
EVIDENCE FROM COMPARATIVE CYTOLOGY   show
🗑
show Physiology, biochemistry, cytochrome c in humans & chimpanzees is same, but differs in bread mold, & insulin from sheep & pigs is same for humans.  
🗑
show How organisms function  
🗑
BIOCHEMISTRY   show
🗑
COMPARATIVE ANATOMY OR HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE   show
🗑
show Same function but different origin and structure (ex: wings of fly (has membranes) vs. bird (has bones)...Both used to fly.  
🗑
show Antibody reactions to protein or viruses may act the same.  
🗑
show All embryos look similar at first and then differentiate and evolve.  
🗑
show Structures that remain but have no function (ex: Coccyx - fused bone (tail))  
🗑
SPONTANEOUS GENERATION   show
🗑
BIOGENESIS   show
🗑
show The hypothesis that the first organic compounds were formed by natural chemical processes on the primitive earth and that the first lifelike structures developed from coacervates and were heterotrophs.  
🗑
show According to the heterotroph hypothesis, an aggregate of large protein like molecules; thought to have developed into the first forms of life on the primitive earth.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
