Evolution and Natural Selection
Across
- 3. when an animal is getting used to the environment around you
- 5. similar in construction but are not inherited from a common ancestor
- 13. an early, pre-birth stage of an organism's development
- 15. anatomically similar structures inherited from a common ancestor
- 16. are structures that are the reduced forms of functional structures in other organism
- 17. when a small sample of population settles in a separate location from the rest
- 18. those less equipped would die
- 19. most common form of natural selection
- 20. more primitive features
Down
- 1. occurs when humans develop new breed of dogs or new strains of crop plants.
- 2. one species evolves to resemble another species
- 4. any change in the allelic frequencies
- 6. cumulative changes
- 7. Darwin's study of the distribution of plants and animals around the world
- 8. an extreme version of a trait makes an organism more fit
- 9. occurs when a population declines to a very low number and then rebounds
- 10. are newly evolved features
- 11. allows organisms to be almost invisible
- 12. a process that splits a population into two groups
- 14. is a measure of the relative contribution that as individual trait makes to the next generation
