- 20. Swedish Botanist
Down
- 1. The more closely related the species, the more similar the embryological development
- 2. slow evolution
- 5. Classified Plants and Animals based on structure
- 6. Parts of different animals that look very similar
- 7. Species are separated,so cant breed
- 9. Parts of organisms that are no longer used
- 11. Shows that organisms have changed overtime
- 13. Humans select organisms to breed in order to get certain desired characteristics/traits
- 17. Fossils found in lower layers are older than those on the top
