__________ published The Origin of Species, which describes theory of evolution by natural selection
1859: Charles Darwin
27
________ This theory requires heredity to work
The Origin of Species
28

The Peppered Moth
33
Give me the 4 Types of Evolution
Convergent Evolution Divergent Evolution Parallel Evolution Coevolution
34
_________ Takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure
Convergent Evolution
35
Example of convergent evolution
 EX. Bats, Birds and Butterflies have wings (analogous structure) which is used to fly but they differ on the developmental and anatomical feature.  EX. Sharks (fish), ichthyosaurs (Reptile), and cetaceans (mammal) have fins
36
- In which two species gradually become increasingly different - This often occurs when closely relates species diversify to new habitats
Divergent Evolution
37
__________different ancestry but shares the same analogous trait because they stay in the same environment; Divergent: closely related species become different because of the difference in environment
Convergent
38
example of divergent
 EX. Humans and Apes  EX. Finches on the Galapagos Islands – different shapes of beaks to take advantage of the different kinds of food on different islands.
39
- Occurs when 2 independent but similar species evolve in the same direction and thus independently acquire similar characteristics
Parallel Evolution
40
Example of Parallel evolution
Ex. Flying Frog
41
Occurs when closely interacting species exert selective pressures on each other, so they evolve together in a kind of conversation of adaptations
Coevolution
42
