Question
Answer
The process by which individuals are better adapted to their enviorment and are more likely to survive and reproduces is called   Adaption  
🗑
Any difference between individuals of the same species   Variation  
🗑
The time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay is its   Half life  
🗑
A well tested concept that explains a wide range of observations is a   Scientific theory  
🗑
The theory that species evolve quickly during short busts of time is   punctuated equalibria  
🗑
Documentation of the milions of fossils scientists have collected over time is called the   Fossil Record  
🗑
Unstable elements that decay or break down into different elements are   Radioactive elements  
🗑
Similar structures that related species have inherited from common ancestors are called   homogolous structures  
🗑
A hollow space left where the fossil has decayed or dissolved is called a   mold  
🗑
a process comparing the age of two fossils by their placement in the sedimentary rock is   relitive dating  
🗑
Gradual changes in a species over time is called   gradualism  
🗑
Fossils that are buried in sediments and actually changed into rock are   petrified fossils  
🗑
a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce is an   adaption  
🗑
the theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily is   gradualism  
🗑
A diagram that shows how scientists think different groups of organisms arerelated is a   branching tree  
🗑
preserved remais of an organism that lived in the past are   fossils  
🗑
a copy of the shape of the organism that made it is called a   cast  
🗑
thisa factor in natural selection as organisms attempt to survive using the same limited resources   competition  
🗑
Evidence that related species had a common ancestor because of the way their bodies are automatically constructed similar ways   homogolous structures  
🗑
This factor in Natural Selection happens when there are more offspring than can possibly survive on the given resource   overproduction  
🗑
A group of organisms that can mate together and create fertile offspring.   Species  
🗑


   

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.
