Question | Answer |
---|---|
produce food | autotroph |
obtain food other sources | heterotroph |
homologus structures are evidence of evolution | comparative anatomy |
variation which is inherited form parent then organism can overpopulate creating reproductive advantage | natural selection |
preserved evidence of an organism | fossil |
model showing major abiotic and biotic events in Earth's history | geologic time scale |
explains that eukaryotic cells may have evolved from prokaryotic cells | endosymbiont theory |
theory of natural selection | C. Darwin |
when an extreme version of a trait makes an organism more fit | directional selection |
when the average verison of a trait makes an organism more fit | stabilizing selection |
when average verison of a trait is not fit and extreme version is fit | disruptive selection |
speciation proceeds in small steps | gradualism |
speciation proceeds as result of rapid spurts of genetic change which causes species to change quickly | punctuated equilibrium |
wings of birds and insects - same function but different construction, not common ancestor | analogus structures |
