  1. 1. The gradual biological process of change by which descendants begin to greatly differ from their ancestors.
  2. 2. A preserved trace of an organism from the past.
  3. 3. An observable change in the allele frequencies in a population.
  4. 4. The total number of genes of every individual in a population
  5. 6. The process by which humans select traits through breeding.
  6. 8. A natural mechanism by which a species, or member of that species inherits a beneficial adaptation that allows it to produce more offspring than others.
