___________ documents the pattern of evolution, showing The fossil record
that past organisms differed from present-day fossil record
organisms and that many species have become extinct.
____________ shows that over time, descent with
modification produced increasingly large differences
among related groups of organisms, ultimately resulting
in the diversity of life today.
is the scientific study of the geographic distributions of Biogeography
species. These distributions are influenced by many continental drift
factors, including ________________, the slow movement of Pangaea
Earth's continents over time. About ago, these
movements united all of Earth's landmasses into a single
large continent called ____________
Is the independent evolution of similar features in convergent evolution
different lineages. In such examples in which species convergent evolution,
share features because of ____________ the resemblance is
said to be analogous, not homologous.
We will define evolution as ________________, a phrase _________ descent with modification
used to summarize the process by which species Darwin
accumulate differences from their ancestors as they
adapt to different environments over time.
Similarity in characteristics resulting from a shared Homology
ancestry.
Structures in different species that are similar because Homologous structure
of common ancestry.
Having characteristics that are similar because of analogous structure
convergent evolution, not homology.
The evolution of similar features in independent convergent evolution
evolutionary lineages.
Are remnants of past species preserved in ___________. Fossil
Preserved remnants or impressions of an organism that sedimentary rock
lived in the past.
