Clade |
A group of organisms believes to have evolved from a common ancestor |
A poodle is a Clade for many other types of poodle mixes |
|
|
Co evolution |
The evolution of two species interacting with each other and reciprocally influencing each other's adaptations |
Co evolution involves at least two species |
|
|
Adaptation |
A characteristic that improves an organisms chance of surviving to reproduce |
Organisms adapt to changes in their environment in order to survive |
|
|
Speciation |
The origin of new species as a result of evolutionary process |
A speciation involves a new species that is developed |
|
|
Geographic Isolation |
Where something is located In relation to a map |
Organisms tend to habitat Im their own geographic isolation |
|
|
Adaptive Radiation |
The development of numerous species from a common ancestor In a diverse environment |
Adaptive radiation involves development of many species |
|
|
Common Ancestor |
When two or more animals shows signs of evolving from the same species |
A common ancestor between my father and I would be apes |
|
|
Stasis |
A state of balance among opposing forces |
The balance of two species is the stasis |
|
|
Gradualism |
A model of evolution in which change takes place at a slow, steady rate, resulting in a steady increase in biological diversity |
The species gradually evolves |
|
|
Punctuated Equilibrium |
A model of evolution In which speciation occurs in spurts of relatively rapid change followed by long periods of stability |
Rapid change indicates punctuated equilibrium |
