Across
- 1. Similar body parts in different species that share a common ancestor
- 3. features in different species that have similar functions but evolved independently, meaning they don't share a common ancestor.
- 6. the random fluctuation of allele frequencies within a population from one generation to the next.
- 8. Changing to better suit your surroundings or situation
- 9. an adaptation where organisms blend into their surroundings, making it difficult for predators to spot them or for prey to notice them.
- 10. physical features of an organism, like body parts or color, that have evolved over time to improve its survival and reproduction in a specific environment.
- 12. the movement of organisms, often animals, from one area to another, usually on a seasonal basis.
- 13. a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of an organism's DNA or RNA.
- 14. The process where humans intentionally select certain traits
- 15. the evolved resemblance of one species to another, where one or both species benefit from the resemblance.
Down
- 2. body parts in different species that serve similar functions but have different origins and structures.
- 4. internal, functional changes within an organism that enhance its ability to survive and thrive in its environment.
- 5. some individuals within a population reproduce more successfully than others.
- 7. features of an organism that were functional in ancestral species but have lost most or all of their original function in the current species.
- 11. the condition of being physically fit and healthy.
