Across
- 3. overtime populations will see increases in beneficial traits
- 5. states that the geologic processes that shaped the Earth in the past have stayed the same throughout time
- 6. Process where individuals with the best traits suited to the environment pass on their genes to the next generation
- 11. proposed that if an organism used a structure so much that it grew, the trait of that larger structure could be passed to its offspring ie giraffe neck
- 12. Structures that once served a purpose, but no longer do. remnants of them still remain
- 15. theory that land forms change slowly over time
- 16. more offspring are born than can survive- induces competition for resources
- 17. Process where Humans decide what traits are passed on from one generation to the next.
- 18. Structures that share the same structure but serve a different function for the organism. Points as evidence for evolution
Down
- 1. Structures that share the same function but contain different internal structures to serve the purpose.
- 2. difference in traits of in a population
- 4. natural disasters and sudden events shaped landforms
- 7. evidence for evolution that involves similar development of embryos, linking to a common ancestor
- 8. Any beneficial trait that allows an organism to better survive in their environment
- 9. Malthus' idea that resources limit a populations growth
- 10. Measures the ability to survive and reproduce
- 13. created classification system
- 14. diagram that depicts evolutionary relationships among groups.
