Darwin published this book in 1859

What is The Origin of Species?

It is why organisms compete for limited resources

What is “organisms produce more

offspring than can survive?”

It is what individuals with traits that helped them survive in their local

environments do

What is “pass the survival traits to

their offspring?”

Darwin’s theory that natural selection does not

demonstrate progress; rather, it merely results from a species’ ability to survive

local conditions at a specific time

What is Descent with Modification?

Darwin observed that populations of this species of bird specialized over time to use the resources offered by

their particular Galapagos Island habitat …an example of

Adaptive Radiation

What are Finches?

This type of structural adaptation is illustrated by

the viceroy butterfly looking very similar to the monarch

butterfly

What is MIMICRY?

A change in the DNA of an organism

What is a MUTATION?

It happens when a mutation occurs in a somatic cell

What is “the mutation disappears

from the population when the organism dies?”

A structure, behaviour or physiological process that helps an organism survive

and reproduce in a particular environment

What isan ADAPTATION?

It is where some genetic information is expressed

What is the PHENOTYPE?

Homologous structures are similar because they were

inherited from this

What is a COMMON ANCESTOR?

The fossil record, biogeography, anatomy,

embryology and relationships in DNA all provide evidence of

this

What is EVOLUTION?

The study of the past and present geographical distribution of species

populations

What is BIOGEOGRAPHY?

This cell type first appeared in the fossil record 3.8 to 3.5

BYA

What arePROKARYOTIC CELLS?

A fossil that shows intermediary links between groups of organisms and

shares characteristics common to two now separate

groups

What is TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL?

Environmental conditions that select for certain

characteristics of individuals and select against other

characteristics

What is SELECTIVE PRESSURE?

In farming, it is easier to manage this types of field with only one plant type

What is a MONOCULTURE?

Selective breeding of this wild plant has been used to create

many common foods including broccoli, cauliflower

and Brussels sprouts

What is the WILD MUSTARD PLANT?

The process by which characteristics of a

population change over many generations as organisms

with heritable traits survive and reproduce, passing their

traits to offspring

What is NATURAL SELECTION?

It occurs when humans exert pressure on

natural processes to select organisms for certain and desired

traits

What is ARTIFICIAL SELECTION?

It is the study of ancient life through by examining

fossils

What is PALEONTOLOGY?

The idea, whose “name” was first used by John Spencer, that the organisms that are

the fittest leave the most offspring, so those

organisms win the struggle

What is SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST?

An idea that body parts that are not used or become unnecessary for survival

eventually disappear

What is USE and DISUSE?

Charles Lynch suggested this theory geological

changes are slow, continuous and operate at the same rates both past

and present

What is UNIFORMITARIANISM?

The two British naturalists who,

although working separately, at nearly the

same time provided a similar theory to explain

how species change over time

What areCHARLES DARWIN

andALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE?
