1.      The collection of genes for all the traits in a population.

2.      Organisms with favorable variations survive and reproduce at a higher rate. These favorable characteristics are then passed on to their offspring.

3.      Individuals with the average form of a trait have the highest fitness.

4.      The formation of a new species from an existing one.

5.      Many species appear to be related to a single ancestral species.

6.      The movement of individuals into a population.

7.      Allele frequencies in a population change as a result of events or chance.

8.      Individuals with an extreme form of a trait have a greater fitness.

9.      Unrelated species becoming more and more similar in appearance because of a shared environment.

10.  Allele frequencies do not change from generation to generation.

11.  Two or more similar species becoming more and more dissimilar because of environmental adaptations.

12.  Two or more species changing because of changes in a species with which they are interacting.

13.  The percentage of a specific allele of a gene in the gene pool.

14.  The movement of individuals out of a population.

15.  A comparison of internal and external structures of organisms.

16.  Individuals with extremes on either side of the average trait have a greater fitness than individuals with the average trait.

17.  Inferred evolutionary relationships among organisms.

18.  The process of genes moving from one population to another.

19.  The structures shared by a set of related species because they have been inherited, with or without modification, from their common ancestor.

20.  The branch of biology that deals with the formation, early growth, and development of living organisms.
