Q

3 facts of modification natural selection

A
  1. more offspring produced than can survive

Q

artificial selection

A

nature provides varieties and humans select those they find useful

17
Q

homologous body structure

A

different form, Same function and tissue

18
Q

analogous body structure

A

same function different structure

19
Q

vestigial structure

A

things organisms have but doesn’t use anymore (ancestors used them) EX. wiggling ears

20
Q

similarities in embryology

A

embryos look similar, but similarities fade as development continues

21
Q

geographic distribution of living species

A

animals were exposed to similar pressures of natural selection and ended up evolving certain common features

22
Q

macro molecule and biochemical similarities

A

homologous proteins, RNA, DNA, ATP, CHONPS, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids,

23
Q

Transitional species

A

many fossils show a clear distinction from one species to another
