- 3. Organs Differing structures with similar functions and do NOT come from a common ancestor
- 5. Organ the organs with no current function and are considered to be the extra parts from past ancestors.
- 7. Drift mechanism of evolution that causes a change in the gene pool of a population randomly
- 10. Evidence The DNA of different species shows that they developed from common ancestors
- 12. Evolution occurs when two separate species evolve differently from a common ancestor
- 14. Genetics genetic differences within and among populations
- 15. Darwin an English scientist who studied nature, he is known for his theory of evolution by natural selection
- 16. Flow the movement of genes from one population to another population
Down
- 1. Anatomy the study of species’ structures is similar and different
- 2. Organs Similar structures with differing functions that come from a common ancestor
- 4. the study of how species are distributed
- 6. The process of genetic change over time
- 8. The study of the embryo's formation and development
- 9. Evolution occurs when organisms that are not closely related evolve similar features or behaviors, often as solutions to the same problems
- 11. Selection The process that lets some members of a population survive and reproduce more than others
- 13. Record a collection of fossils that document the history of life on Earth
