5. The clearing of forests, a human activity that impacts ecosystems.
6. Structures that are similar in form but may have different functions, indicating common ancestry.
7. The theory that evolution occurs slowly and steadily over long periods.
8. The scientist who proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.

15. The intentional breeding of organisms with desirable traits by humans.

1. A diagram that shows evolutionary relationships based on shared traits.
2. The islands where Charles Darwin observed species that contributed to his theory of natural selection.
3. Structures that have a similar function but different evolutionary origins.
4. Organisms introduced to an ecosystem where they are not originally found, often disrupting the environment.
9. The variety of life in an ecosystem, often affected by human activities.
11. The study of embryos and their development, providing evidence of evolutionary relationships.
12. Structures that have lost their original function through evolution, such as the human appendix.
13. Preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms that provide evidence of evolution.
14. The process where organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce.
