Species: Sapiens
Classification system in which each species is assigned
binomial nomenclature
a two-part scientific name
A group of similar organisms that can breed and
Species
produce fertile offspring.
A process in which individuals that have certain
Natural selection inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at
higher
rates than other individuals because of those traits.
1. From generation to generation, there are
various individuals within a species
Darwin's Four Principles 2. Genes determine variations
3. More individuals are born than survive to maturation
4. Specific genes enable an organism to better survive
Gradualism The theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily
Pattern of evolution in which long stable periods are
punctuated equilibrium
interrupted by brief periods of more rapid change
stasis long periods of no change
sum of all scientific inquiries for truths about the
scientific knowledge
natural world
, The diverse ways in which scientists study the natural
scientific inquiry world and propose explanations based on evidence
they gather.
