start learning

Question		Answer
evolution start learning		the cumulative change in heritable characteristics of a population over generations
darwinism start learning		species have their own set of heritable differences which have acumulated gradually over time
lamarkism - TOTALLY NOT TRUE start learning		organism’s aquired characteristics through their lifetime and passed them to their offsprings
Homologous structures (morphological) start learning		are anatomucal features showing similarities in structure, but difference in faction. common ansestor
Analogous structures start learning		analogous features showing differences in structure but similarities in function. no recent common ansestor
divergent evolution start learning		the process of 2 or more species evolving from a common ansestor by accumulating differences, becoming more distinct from each other over time
covergent evolution start learning		the process by which similar traits arise in unrealted species (not a recent common ansestor)
selctive breeding (experimental) start learning		a process of breeding organisms together for a desired traits. can occur naturally or guided by humans Teosinte -> Maize
artificial selection start learning		human intervention
genetics (molecular level) start learning		DNA changes occur with evilution. Over time organisms start changing along with genetics
extinction start learning		when the last individuals of the species dies out
