Question 10

Breeders would cross individuals with desired traits

Answer 10

Artificial selection

Question 11

Theory of evolution developed by Darwin based in four ideas

Answer 11

Natural selection

Question 12

Heredity changes in groups of living organisms over time

Answer 12

Evolution

Question 13

List and describe the four basic principles if evolution

Answer 13

Variety, heredity, overpopulation, reproduction

Question 14

Individuals in a population that differ from one another

Answer 14

Variety

Question 15

Variations are inherited from parents

Answer 15

Heritability

Question 16

Populations produce more offspring that can survive

Answer 16

Overpopulation

Question 17

Some variations allow the organism that processes them to have more offspring than the organism that doesn’t posses them.

Answer 17

Reproductive advantage

Question 18

Heredity changes in groups of living organisms over time.

Answer 18

Evolution

Question 19

Trace of once living organisms

Answer 19

Fossils

Question 20

Any change in the allele frequencies in a population that results from change

Answer 20

Genetic Drift

Question 21

Drift that occurs when a population declines to a very low number and then rebounds, reducing the allele diversity of the population.

Answer 21

Bottleneck

Question 22

Genes entering and leaving a population

Answer 22

Gene flow

Question 23

Acts to select the individuals. That are best adapted for survival and reproduction

Answer 23

Natural selection

Question 24

When at one point animals and other organisms look the same at early stages of birth

Answer 24

Comparative embryology

Question 25

They share common DNA

ex:Dog: HGCEDG
Donkey: CGCDDG

Answer 25

Comparative biochemistry
