Question 1

Natural selection definition

Answer 1

Natural process that occurs over time were best-adapted individuals survive longer, have more offspring, spreading their favourable characteristics, and reducing the likelihood of unfavourable characteristics

Question 2

4 Steps to Natural Selection

Answer 2

• Variation present in species
• Some members have favourable characteristic
• Favourable characteristic survives and reproduces
• Overtime, characteristic becomes more common in species

Question 3

Fossils definition

Answer 3

A preserved remnant or trace of a once living organism

Question 4

Transitional forms definition

Answer 4

Fossils that have been found to have similar characteristics from two different groups of organisms showing that they share a common ancestor

Question 5

Comparative anatomy definition

Answer 5

Anatomy of different species can be compared to look for evidence of evolution from a common ancestor

Question 6

Comparative embryology definition

Answer 6

Embryos of different vertebrates compared to look for evidence that these animals are related

Question 7

Supporting the theory of evolution

Answer 7

Similarity of limbs (same homologous basic structure) suggests common ancestor. Differences of adaptations is a result of different environmental conditions between each species.
