Over time animals may
change behavior or physical
appearance in response to
changes in their environment.
What is the process by
which individuals that are
better adapted to their
environment survive and
reproduce more successfully
that others do?
This process often begins by
a portion of a population
becoming physically or
geographically isolated
A specific
characteristic that can
be passed from
parent to offspring is
called a…
What process could
farmers use to produce
vegetables that will grow
well in a specific
climate or in specific
soil types?
If two organisms have
similar traits and DNA,
they probably share a
common
A spider produces
hundreds of eggs;
only a few survive.
This is an example
of…
The remains of a onceliving organism found in
layers of rock formed by
minerals seeping into the
organisms remains is
called a…
The fact that an
organism’s
offspring are not
identical is known
as
What does
speciation create?
The process by
which populations
slowly change over
time is called…
Sometimes part of a
population moves away
from the rest. What is
this called?
Darwin could not answer all
of the questions regarding
his new theory because he
didn’t know about what
scientific field of study?
What was the name of the ship
that Darwin traveled on during
his expeditions and what
Islands did he travel to?
There were two scientists that
greatly influenced Darwin’s
thoughts in his creation of the
Theory of Evolution. Who were
they and what did they study?
Modern ocean-dwelling
mammals that are
descended from ancient
land-dwelling mammals
Groups of individuals
of the same species
living in the same
area
When two isolated
groups of a species
begin to adapt
differently to their
environment
A scientific idea that is
supported by many
observations and
pieces of evidence
A timeline of life
provided by the
remains or imprints of
dead organisms
Process of
separation,
adaptation, and
division
Process consisting of
overproduction, inherited
variation, the struggle to
survive, and successful
reproduction
Naturalist who
proposed that
evolution occurs
through natural
selection
A group of organisms
that can mate with one
another to produce
fertile offspring
Likely reason that two
organisms share
similar DNA and
similar traits
