A long, slow change in
organisms over long
periods of time.

The combined genetic
make-up of ALL the
members of a
population.
B 400
What is a Gene Pool?

choose the most desirable
traits of a population for
breeding purposes.

Or Selective Breeding?
B 500
Preserved or
mineralized remains of
organisms usually found
in sedimentary rock.

origin and structure but are
adapted for different purposes
(Example: Human arm/Bat wing)

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
Two or more species
reproduce at different times
and therefore, cannot
interbreed.
D 400
What is Temporal Isolation?
D 400
When the Industrial Revolution
began the tree trunks and buildings
blackened with soot. Moths that
were darker in color blended in with
their environment better than lightcolored moths. This is an example
of

What is
Natural Selection (in favor of
more darkly colored
individuals).
