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 🗑
|

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
🗑

🗑

||||
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.
🗑
