Evolution Evidence

3. Speciation caused by geographic isolation
7. Evolutionary process where two populations of one species change enough to no longer reproduce together.
11. All organisms on earth share a certain degree of DNA.
15. Process that occurs as organisms change over time to become more "fit" to their environment.
16. Theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics. Invented the term "BIOLOGY"
19. Similar structures not present in a common ancestor.
21. Different structures developed from a common ancestor.
23. Occurs when an allele frequency changes in a population over time.
27. Calculated value showing the degree of similarity of genomes of two organisms.
28. Evolution caused by two species in the same environment that affect each other.
29. Speciation caused by geographic isolation of a VERY small population.

1. Immigration event resulting in speciation.
2. Speciation caused by partial geographic barrier and different habitats.
4. Science of dating materials based on amount of radioactive element present in a sample.
5. Individual reproductive success intimately dependent on ecological factors.
6. A set of highly conserved genes between species responsible for body plan development.
7. Science of dating fossils based on rock layer they are found in.
8. Chart showing the genetic comparison of organisms. Tree of Life.
9. Structures from a common ancestor that are no longer used or have function.
10. Physical barriers separating organisms causing speciation.
12. Evolution resulting in development of features in species not closely related.
13. Frequency of dominant and recessive alleles.
14. Theory of natural selection and favorable variations passed to offspring.
17. Statistic used to show how population genetics change over time.
18. BEAGLE Ship Darwin traveled the world in for 5 years.
20. Speciation without a geographic barrier but caused by mating habits.
22. Last Universal Common Ancestor.
24. Event caused by extreme, catastrophic climate change.
25. Evolution resulting in a body feature of an ancestor to change drastically in descendants.
26. Region on earth a species inhabits
