2. Farthest to the body
5. region or chest supports the forelimbs
7. plane separates it into anterior and posterior portions
9. Analysis of vertebrate design proceeds in three general steps, each enhancing the other: The Function, The Biological Role and The ?
10. a kind of biological blueprint
14. means the action or property of a part as it works in an organism
16. hypothesis about the lineages and their evolutionary relationships
17. A kind of homology- similarity between successively repeated parts in the same organism
20. Belly or front
21. Middle of the body
24. is the term that has been coined to recognize the importance of ecological analysis in the examination of a morphological system.
25. is the basis for recognizing a clad
26. is a synonym for a paraphyletic group
27. The way in which an animal’s body meets the surrounding environment
29. Refers to the tail
30. Three issues of evolution: fact, course and ?
31. Refers to the head end
32. Last name of the man who determines that species were fixed and unchangeable
33. His answer centered on archetypes
34. Last name of the man who proposed mechanism of inheritance of acquired characteristics
36. The course of evolution
38. Plane that splits into left and right portions.
39. 2 or more features that share a common ancestry

1. A kind of symmetry, only the mid-sagittal plane divides the body into two mirrored images, left and right
3. is an inadvertent by-product of human saliva, without any adaptive role in the environment.
4. refers to how the part is used in the environment during the course of the organism’s life history
6. a method of placing fossils in a relative sequence to each other
8. last name of the Curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University
11. Last name of “Darwin’s Bulldog”
12. Last name of a respected specialist in ornithology. He emphasized that the birds were endemic to the Galápago
13. Nearest to the body
15. Brought attention to the function that parts performed
18. the proposed relationships of the animal (and its parts) to other species
19. Named group of an organism
22. Structure or behavior possesses the necessary form and function before
23. is a lineage—all organisms in a lineage
28. is the study of how decay and tissue disintegration affect fossilization
31. features with similar functions
35. A body or structure built of repeating or duplicated sections is segmented
37. The earliest eon
