Unit 4 part B
Across
- 3. similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions
- 7. features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure
- 8. change over time
- 9. The process of selection conducted under human direction
- 12. A sequence of dna that codes for a particular trait
- 13. How reproductively successful an organism is
- 14. Change in DNA
- 16. When two populations are different in their periods of activity
- 17. The process by which new species are generated
- 19. The separation of a population so they can no longer mate with eachother
- 20. Biological evolution that occurs by chance
- 21. The separation of groups of organisms as a result of changes in their ecology
Down
- 1. A physical incompatibility between reproductive organs of two organisms
- 2. The decline of gene flow between populations or species
- 4. Each population develops its own set of mutations
- 5. Structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor
- 6. Organisms evolve in wats that maximize their success in a given environment
- 10. A heritable trait that increases an individual’s fitness
- 11. the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers.
- 15. The process by which traits that improve an organism’s chance for survival and reproduction
- 18. When environmental conditions change rapidly or severely enough that a species cannot adapt to change
