- 4. process by which new species are created
- 8. the main mechanism of evolution
- 10. this type of evolution is when unrelated species evolve in similar ways from different ancestors, like birds and bats.
- 11. this type of evolution is when a population splits off and becomes a new species, the two are related but develop new traits for their environment
- 13. change in the gene pool of a population over time
- 14. the variety of living things in our environment
- 16. a product of the reproductive process
- 18. natural selection for courtship purposes
- 19. in example of mouse speciation what separated the mouse population
- 20. if genes mutate and individuals are selected then these evole
- 22. a group of individuals that can interbreed
Down
- 1. along with ammonia it was the most abundant gas in the early atmosphere
- 2. when speciation occurs due to a geographic separation
- 3. all organisms share a tremendous similarities in this
- 5. credited with developing the theory of evolution
- 6. different species have different gene pools, this is called
- 7. the birds Darwin studied
- 9. selection when natural selection favors individuals that are like everyone else
- 12. when natural selection favors a single trait like color
- 15. along with selection and time shape how natural selection works
- 17. when a gene is copied incorrectly this occurs and may be good or bad
- 21. there are different varieties of these under the taxon species, they may interbreed.
