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