What is adaptation? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Behavioral
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
adaptations, structural adaptations, Biochemical adaptations,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
physiological adaptations. |\
Natural Selection - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔is a process in which
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
survive and reproduce than are individuals with other
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
characteristics.
Population - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔a group of individuals of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
same species living in the same place at the same time
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Evolution - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the genetic composition of a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
population changes over time. |\ |\ |\
Natural selection leads to - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A population
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
changing over generations, and evolutionary adaptation.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
The Origin of Species challenged.. - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
notion that earth was relatively young and populated by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
unrelated species |\
The Greek philosopher Aristotle held the belief.. - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔that species are fixed and do not evolve.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, Two points from the Origin of Species - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Organisms inhabiting Earth today descended from ancestral |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
species; Natural selection was the mechanism for descent with
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
modification
Fossils - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Imprints or remains of organisms
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that lived in the past, often found in sedimentary rocks
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Fossil record - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Is the ordered sequence of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
fossils as they appear in rock layers; reveals the appearance of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
organisms in a historical sequence; fits the molecular and cellular
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evidence that prokaryotes are the ancestors of all life
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Paleontologists - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Are scientists that study |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
fossils
|\
Biogeography - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the study of the |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
geographic distribution of species that first suggested to Darwin
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that today's organisms evolved from ancestral forms.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Comparitive Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Is the comparison |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
of body structure between different species; confirms that
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
evolution is a remodeling process |\ |\ |\ |\
Homology - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔The similarity in structures
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
due to common ancestry
|\ |\ |\
Illustrated by the remodeling of the pattern of bones forming the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
forelimbs of mammals |\ |\
What is adaptation? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Behavioral
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
adaptations, structural adaptations, Biochemical adaptations,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
physiological adaptations. |\
