  1. 1. the similar body plans of two different organisms
  2. 5. proposed that organs not used would disappear
  3. 8. a sequencing of rock layers that supposedly provided a permanent record of the history of he earth and the sequence and rate at which life evolved through its various forms
  4. 14. an organ that has no apparent function
  5. 15. belief that all forms of life began from one organism
  6. 17. measured by the production and survival of its offspring
  7. 24. present, natural processes to explain the past
  8. 27. the idea that all was created intelligently

  16. 41. the practice of breeding two organisms to form a more pure form of that species
  17. 42. states that the environment may cause certain characteristics to become dominant in a population by allowing organisms with the most suitable traits to survive long enough to reproduce
Down
  1. 2. when a species of organisms is wiped out entirely
  2. 3. three theories within one category. Are as follows: 1. Theory of cosmological beginnings 2. Theory of biological evolutional
  3. 4. the theory that the great flood caused the majority of he fossils

  5. 7. the shapes and contours of the earth's surface
  6. 9. a mixture of Bible truths and evolutionistic theories
  7. 10. the makeup of complex organisms
  8. 11. structure many organs that are similar to in structure and function between two different organisms
  9. 12. load the number of mutations an organism (or sometimes a gene pool) has
  10. 13. any direct or indirect evidence of a once-living organism that is embedded or preserved in the earth's crust
  11. 16. similar environments causing similar traits in unrelated organisms
  12. 18. the principal that only the strongest and most suited for survival will remain dominant and survive
  13. 19. the idea that a system must have been designed if it involves a particular pattern and is highly improbable
  14. 20. states that newer forms of organisms are actually the modified descendants of much older, similar organisms

  24. 32. the idea that interdependent parts and processes could not have developed in gradual steps
  25. 34. (mutation selection theory)the concept that mutations supplies the variations and that natural selection determines which variations will survive and breed
