.

A 100

When inherited characteristics within a

population change over time

.

A 200

What is evolution?

.

A 200

An example of this was used to extract DNA to create the dinosaurs at Jurassic Park.

A 400

What are two ways we can compare organisms?

A 400

This young man didn't know what he wanted to do after

college. So he set sail on the HMS Beagle and collected plant

and animal specimens

A 500

Who is Darwin?

A 500

Specific characteristics that can be passed on from one

generation to the next AND the process in which humans select these to be passed on in plants

and animals.

B 100

What are traits and selective breeding?

.

B 100

The process which by individuals that are better adapted to their

environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do.

This is a theory to explain evolution.

B 200

What is Natural Selection?

B 200

A tarantulas egg sac can hold ~ 1,000 eggs. What is this an

example of?

B 300

Overproduction

.

B 300

When a single population evolves into two populations that

cannot interbreed anymore__________ has

occurred.

What is speciation?

B 400

B 500

Darwin noticed this when observing these birds.

An example is a tuskless elephant

C 100

What is an adaptation to hunting?

C 100

The average time between one generation and the next.

.

C 200

What is generation time?

C 200

An example of this is when a mountain range, canyon or lake

forms between a population

Click on screen to continue

Overproduction- Laying lots of eggs because some will survive and some will not.Inherited Variation- Every individual has its own combination of traits. Similar

but not identical to its parents.Struggle to Survive- Some may be caught by predators, some may starve or get a

disease. Only some survive to adulthood.Successful Reproduction- The individuals that are best adapted to their

environment are likely to have many offspring that survive.
