Theory of
Evolution
He traveled to the Galapagos
Islands on the HMS Beagle and
observed similar species suited
to their particular environment.
A 100
Who is Charles Darwin?
A 100
This theory supports
evolution and explains
why islands have a
large number of species
found nowhere else
A 200
What is the Plate
Tectonic Theory?
A 200
He proposed that giraffes got their
long necks from stretching them.
(the idea of use and disuse)
A 300
Who is Lamarck?
A 300
These 4 branches of science help
to support the theory of evolution
A 400
What is embryology,
anatomy, palentology, and
molecular biology?
A 400
Process by which individuals
better suited to their
environment can survive and
reproduce most successfully.
A 500
What is
Natural Selection or
Survival of the Fittest?
A 500
A long, slow change in
organisms over long
periods of time.
B 100
What is Evolution?
B 100
Any inherited trait or
characteristic that
increases an organism’s
chances for survival.
B 200
WhatisisAdaptation?
adaptation?
What
B 200
A sudden change in the
sequence of DNA
B 300
What is a Mutation?
B 300
The combined genetic
make-up of ALL the
members of a
population.
B 400
What is a Gene Pool?
B 400
A process in which HUMANS
choose the most desirable
traits of a population for
breeding purposes.
B 500
What is Artificial Selection?
B 500
Preserved or
mineralized remains of
organisms usually found
in sedimentary rock.
C 100
What are Fossils?
C 100
Structures that have similar
embryological origin and
structure but are adapted for
different purposes
(Example: Human arm/Bat wing)
C 200
What are
Homologous Structures?
C 200
•Fossil Records
•Geographical Distribution
•Homologous Structures
•Vestigial Organs
•Similarities in Embryology
C 300

C 300
DAILY
Place A Wager
DOUBLE
C 400
Appendix in Humans
Leg Bones in Whales
C 400
What are examples of
Vestigial Structures?
C 400
The early stages of
development in organisms in
which there are many
similarities among different
species.
C 500
What is Embryology?
C 500
This may happen if a
species lacks the variations
necessary to adapt to a
changing environment.
D 100
What is Die and
Become Extinct?
D 100
Two populations are capable of
interbreeding but have
differences in courtship rituals or
other reproductive strategies that
involve behavior.
(ex: Eastern and Western Meadowlarks)
D 200
What is Behavioral Isolation?
D 200
Two populations are separated
by geographic barriers such as
rivers, mountains, or other
bodies of water.
D 300
What is Geographic Isolation?
D 300
This happens when a
population is separated and
has low gene flow, which
eventually results in 2 different
species
D 400
What is Speciation?
D 400
This historical event in England
caused tree trunks and buildings to
blacken with soot allowing for birds
and other predators to hunt the
light-colored moths more easily.
D 500
What is
The Industrial Revolution?
D 500
A Swedish botanist that
developed a two-word
naming system
(Science of Taxonomy)
E 100
Who is Linnaeus?
E 100
The broadest, largest
category of organisms with
the fewest of traits in
common
E 200
What is Kingdom?
E 200
The most specific level of
classification in which
organisms have the most
traits in common
A Genus is composed of a
number of these
E 300
What is Species?
E 300
The 2-word scientific naming
of an organism
E 400
What is
Binomial Nomenclature?
E 400
The two levels of
classification used to
name an organism
E 500
What is
Genus and Species?
E 500
These are the 3
domains of life
F 100
What are Bacteria,
Archaea, and
Eukarya?
F 100
Differences such as
fur color shape of teeth
beak sizes shapes in shells
F 200
What is Variation?
F 200
This process reduces
genetic variation
F 300
What is a Genetic
Drift?
F 300
The two main sources of
genetic variation
F 400
What is genetic
recombination and
mutations?
F 400
This is the most accurate
way to classify organisms
F 500
What is
DNA analysis?
F 500

might explain why many
bones of fossil
vertebrates are similar
to those in living
