inherited characteristics that increase an organism's ability to survive and reproduce

body parts that share a common function, but not a common structure

selective breeding of plants and animals to promote the occurrence of desirable traits in the offspring

when unrelated organisms independently evolve similarities within similar environments

when successful species develop into new species after many generations

when related organisms independently evolve differences when adapting to different environments

the process when organisms change over time

how well a organism can survive and reproduce in its environment

preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms

body parts that share a common structure and function

process by which organisms that are most suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully

random combinations or mutations in DNA that produce different phenotypes

members of a population must compete for food, space, and other resources to survive

individuals with adaptations well-suited to the environment will survive and reproduce

a well-tested hypothesis that allows for accurate predictions about new situtations

structure that is inherited from ancestors but has lost all or most of its function
