SBI3U Evolution

What animal did Darwin study on the Galapagos islands?

The ability to survive and reproduce is known as 

changes in gene (allele) frequencies and phenotypic traits within a population and species

Darwin came up with the theory of 

Directed breeding is known as 

the evolution of populations within the same geographic area into separate species

the large-scale evolution of a group into many different forms

Which of the following is a mechanism of reproductive isolation?

Use and Disuse was suggested by 

Study of the geographic distribution of organisms based on both living species and fossils

Selective pressures may result from 

New species as a result of evolutionary changes following a period of geographic changes

occurs when a single species evolves into a number of distinct but closely related species

Could the theory of natural selection be proven wrong?

Do whales have hip bones? 

Occurs when the average phenotype within a population is favoured by the environment

Catastrophism was a theory proposed by 

This is used to explain, but not describe

Thomas Malthus studied 

A non-functioning feature is called a 

Occurs when selection favours individuals with a more extreme variation of a trait

Mutations that provide no harm or benefit are

The most obvious changes to species apply to those that have 

A structure with a common evolutionary origin that may serve different functions in species

a process in which one species evolves in response to the evolution of another species
