Theory Of Evolution

Front 1

Divine Creation

Back 1

Governed the originof species

Front 2

Species

Back 2

Group of interbreeding organism's capable of producing fertile offspring

Front 3

Netural Selection

Back 3

Process by which populations (not individuals) change in response to their environment. This theory is sometimes referred ti as survival of the fittest.
-Causes the frequency of the alleles ina population to change over time.

Front 4

Variation

Back 4

Caused by crossing over or mutations

Front 5

Adaptation

Back 5

A characteristic that allows an organism a better chance to survive

Front 6

Gene Pool

Back 6

All alleles of a population

Front 7

Jean Lamarack

Back 7

1908 French Scientist proposed a new mechanism to explain how evolution occurrs. Said it occurred through use and disuse of physical features by individual members of a species.

Front 8

Charles Lyell

Back 8

Wrote the book Principals of Genology which explains Lamarks theory of evolution.

Front 9

Alfred Wallace

Back 9

English naturalist wrote an essay which described a hypothesis of evolution by natural selection.

Front 10

Thomas Malthus

Back 10

English economist wrote that human populations were able to increase faster than food supply.

Front 11

Gregor Mendel

Back 11

Conducted the garden pea expirament. Discovered that basis of genetics.

Front 12

What conclusion did Darwin make about the birds in the Galapagos Islands?

Back 12

All of the birds derived frin ibe common ancestor.

Front 13

Ecologial Race

Back 13

Over tine populations of the same species that differ genetically because if adapation to different living conditions.

Front 14

Vestigal Structure

Back 14

Structure reduced in size and function considered to be evidence of an organism's evolutionary past.

Front 15

Difference between a homologous structure and a analogous structure

Back 15

H- Share's a common ancestor(similar structure)
A- Same functions but different organism's.
