big population

17
Q
  • is the change in characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection
  • is any net directional change or any cumulative change in the characteristics of organisms or populations over many generations, in other words descent with modification.
A

EVOLUTION

18
Q

was an english naturalist, geologist, biologist, widely known for his contributions to evolutionary biology.
- He proposed that species can change over time, that new species come from pre-existing species, and that all species share a common ancestor.

A

CHARLES DARWIN

19
Q
  • was a french naturalist, biologist, academic and soldier. ( vital force/internal vital force because of growing).
  • According to Lamarck, organisms altered their behavior in response to environmental change. He believed that living things evolved in a continuously upward direction, from dead matter, through simple to more complex forms, toward “human protection”. Species didn’t die out in extinction.
A

JEAN-BAPTISTE LAMARCK

20
Q

was a scottish geologist who demonstrated the power of known natural causes in explaining the earth’s history.
- He argued that the formation of earth’s crust took place through countless small changes occurring over vast periods of time, all according to known natural laws. His “uniformitarian” proposal was that the forces molding the planet today have operated continuously throughout its history.

A

CHARLES LYELL

21
Q
  • was an english naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, biologist, and illustrator.
  • Wallace concluded that over generations, natural selection of inherited traits could give rise to new species.

ALFRED WALLACE

22
Q

one very important human ancestor was an ancient fish. Though they lived 375 mya, they had shoulders, elbows, legs, wrists, neck and many other basus parts that eventually became part of us.
- an extinct fishlike aquatic animal that lived avour 380-385 mya direct ancestors of tetrapods (4-legged land vertebrates).
