- 1. traits controlled by multiple genes
- 2. one extreme trait
- 4. Selection-The Process by which humans selectively breed organisms for desired traits.
- 5. The evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species
- 8. Structure Similar Structures,Different functions,common ancestor
- 9. the production by a single gene of two or more apparently unrelated effects.
- 12. How well an organism is fit to survive in its environment
- 13. The gradual change in the characteristics of a species overtime.
