Question
Answer
show Change over time.  
🗑
show Darwin developed a theory of evolution tat explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time from common ancestors.  
🗑
show Places around the world that had similar habitats often had different animals that were ecologically similar  
🗑
show the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms.  
🗑
What did Darwin notice about biodiversity within a local area?   show
🗑
show Darwin noticed that some fossils of extinct animals were similar to living species.  
🗑
How did Jean-Baptiste Lamarck propose that species evolve?   show
🗑
show Hutton and Lyell concluded that Earth is extremely old.  
🗑
What was Thomas Malthus's view of population growth?   show
🗑
show The selective breeding of plants and animals to promote desirable traits in offspring.  
🗑
How is variation used in artificial selection?   show
🗑
show A heritable characteristic that increases an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.  
🗑
show How well an organism can survive and reproduce in its environment  
🗑
show The process by which organisms that are most suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully  
🗑
What is natural selection also called?   show
🗑
When does natural selection occur?   show
🗑
show According to the principle of common descent, all species (living and extinct) are descended from ancient common ancestors  
🗑
What is biogeography?   show
🗑
show Patterns linking adaptations to environments around the world provide evidence for natural selection  
🗑
What is homologous structures?   show
🗑
show Evolutionary theory explains that homologous structures adapted to different purposes are the result of descent with modification from an ancestor.  
🗑
show structures that are similar in function but not in structure; they do not suggest common ancestry.  
🗑
show A structure that is reduced in size and has little or no function.  
🗑
What do similarities in embryonic development suggest about the process of evolutionary change?   show
🗑
