Across
- 2. A change in the genetic makeup of species over time
- 4. Immunity Immunity that is passed down from the mother and is short lived
- 5. evolution When many species develop from a common ancestor
- 6. Drift The change in frequency of alleles in a population
- 8. The accumulation of differences between species or populations
- 9. Structures Structures that have the same function, but different structure
- 10. The process by which a species becomes better suited to its environment
- 12. When two or more organisms in an ecosystem evolve in response to each other
- 14. When a species permanently disappears
- 15. Flow The exchange of genes between two populations
- 16. Selection The process in which organisms with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring
Down
- 1. Evolution When unrelated species develop similar characteristics
- 3. The process by which new species form
- 7. Isolation The inability of formerly interbreeding groups to mate or produce fertile offspring
- 11. Structures that share a common ancestry or are similar in structure but different in function
- 13. Structures with no function that are remnants of an organism's evolutionary past
- 17. Immunity Immunity acquired when an immune response occurs in the human body
