DIVERGENT EVOLUTION
|
Related organisms that evolve at the same time in different manners
|
|
|
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION
|
Organisms that evolve at the same time and enviroment, and in similar manners
|
|
|
CO-EVOLUTION
|
Two organisms that evovle at the same time to aide on another
|
|
|
ANALOGOUS STRUCTURE
|
Evidence for evolution--> simmilar form and function, but structurally different (ex. snake tounge and human nose)
|
|
|
HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE
|
Dissimilar in form and funtion but has similar construction (Ex. bat wings and lizard legs) This is evidence for evolution
|
|
|
BIOLOGICAL FITNESS
|
The ability to survive and reproduce in your enviroment
|
|
|
ACQUIRED TRAIT
|
A trait that is not inheirited. It is aquired by the individual, it is not a genetic trait
|
|
|
INHERITED TRAIT
|

|
|
|
NATURAL VARIATION
|
The selection of various alleles in order to survive in an enviroment
|
|
|
NATURAL SELECTION
|
a process in which the enviroment "chooses" which organisms are biologically fit
|
|
|
SPECIES
|
a group of organisms with similar traits and reproductivley isolated
|
|
|
VESTIGAL STRUCTURES
|
PArts that we no longer use, but we posses
|
|
|
ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION
|
a breeder chooses traits taht are adventageous to humans. IT is evidence for evollution
|
|
|
NATURAL EVOLUTION
|
Evolution that occurs naturally . A genetic change overtime to help an organism survive
|
|
|
SELECTIVE ADVANTAGE
|
adventageous traits "choosen" by the enviroment
|
