🗑
|
||||
| A species can…. | mate and produce fertile offspring
🗑
|
||||
| Adaptation is…. | a characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce (happens over a short time)
🗑
|
||||
| Fossils….. | remains or imprints organisms preserved in layers of rock
🗑
|
||||
| Fossil record | timeline of life provided by remains of dead organisms
🗑
|
||||
| Sediment/sedimentary rock | where fossils are likely to be found
🗑
|
||||
| Father of evolution is…. | Charles Darwin
🗑
|
||||
| Types of bird Darwin examined and compared. | Finches
🗑
|
||||
| What characteristic did Darwin compare with the finches? | the shapes of their beaks
🗑
|
||||
| What was limited in his theory on evolution/natural selection because he didn't know about... | genetics/differences in genes create variation
🗑
|
||||
| A trait is…. | an inherited characteristic
🗑
|
||||
| Natural selection….. | lets individuals with the better traits survive and reproduce more successfully
🗑
|
||||
| Four parts of natural selection | overproduction - inherited variation - struggle to survive - successful reproduction
🗑
|
||||
| When spider produces hundreds of eggs and only few survive; this is... | over production
🗑
|
||||
| When organism's offspring are not identical - that is... | inherited variation
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| Why do insects adapt quickly to insecticides? | there generation time is short
🗑
|
||||
| When two isolated groups become isolated and start adapting to new environment - this begins | speciation
🗑
|
||||
| Parts of speciation | separation - adaptation - division
🗑
|
||||
| When speciation does occur - what is a result | The two groups cannot interbreed anymore
🗑
|
||||
| If a farmer want to produce vegetables that will grow in a specific climate... | selective breeding
🗑
|
||||
| If two organisms have similar traits and DNA…. | probably share a common ancestor
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Explain differences between adaptation and evolution (could use info from study guide) |
🗑
|
||||
