Evolution

Question 1

Fossil

Answer 1

When a prehistoric organisms remains are impressed into rock over long periods of time

Question 2

Homologous part

Answer 2

Modified structures that came from a common ancestor

Question 3

Vestigial structures

Answer 3

• Structures that don’t hAve a function

- May be homogolous with useful structures in other organisms

Question 4

Selective breeding

Answer 4

Humans pick plant and animal breeding for a special phenotype trait

Question 5

Natural selection

Answer 5

The best individual will survive longer with the better trait

Question 6

Competition

Answer 6

Competition between organisms in which the fitness of another is lowered

Question 7

Variation

Answer 7

Rains in different organisms that make them unique from each other

Question 8

Adaptation

Answer 8

Animals evolve as certain variations increase, decrease in a population

Question 9

Species

Answer 9

Group of organisms that breed and produce offspring in nature

Question 10

Geological isolation

Answer 10

Environmental variations for two areas will be different and naturally selected

Question 11

Speciation

Answer 11

Evolution if a new species

Question 12

Genetic drift

Answer 12

Variation in a relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population

Question 13

Convergent evolution

Answer 13

When different organisms that aren’t related develop the same traits based off of living in the same environment

Question 14

Gradualism

Answer 14

Slow and steady changes

-happens with environment is stable

Question 15

Punctuated equilibrium

Answer 15

Long periods of very little change
To
Quick periods of fast change
(Sudden change in environment)

Question 16

Allopatric speciation

Answer 16

Geographical isolation

Question 17

Sympatric speciation

Answer 17

New species form without geographical separation

Question 18

The 7 types of evidence scientists use to study evolution

Answer 18

Fossils, DNA, comparative anatomy, biogeography, direct observation, vestigial structures, comparative embryology

Question 19

Evolution

Answer 19

When different organisms develop and diversify from the early history.

1. No new mutations
2. No migration
3. Large population
4. Mating random
5. No natural selection

Question 29

What is the endosymbiotic theory?

Answer 29

The theory is when larger cells engulfed smaller ones. The smaller ones became organelles.
