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. |
