Spontaneous Generation : the belief that life arose from nonlife
Artificial Selection : selective breeding
Natural Selection : theory of evolution developed by Charles Darwin, based on four ideas; excess reproduction, variations, inheritance, and the advantages of specific traits in an environment
Evolution : cumulative changes in groups of organisms throughout time
Derived Traits : newly evolved features that do not appear in the fossils of common ancestors
Ancestral Traits : traits that do appear in ancestral forms
Homologous Structures : anatomically similar structures inherited from a common ancestor
Vestigial Structures : structures that are reduced forms of functional structures in other organisms
Analogous structures : same structure but different ancestor
Embryo : pre birth stage of an organisms development
Biogeography : distribution of plants and animals around the world
Fitness : measure of the relative contribution an individual trait makes to the next generation
Camouflage : morphology adaptations that allow them to blend in with their environment
Mimicry : one species evolves to mimic another species
Disruptive Selection : process that splits a population into 2 groups
Sexual Selection : when males appear differently than the females
Molecular Clock : model that shows how long a species has been evolving since they broke apart from a common ancestor
Cladistics : method that classifies organisms according to the order they diverged from a common ancestor
