What is Natural Selection?

Back

Natural Selection is the process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce, passing down their genes to their offspring.

Front

What are Homologous Structures?

Back

Homologous Structures are anatomical features in different species that share a common ancestry, indicating evolutionary relationships.

Front

What is Extinction?

Back

Extinction is the complete dying out of a species, meaning no individuals of that species exist anymore.

Front

What does 'Survival of the Fittest' mean?

Back

'Survival of the Fittest' is another term for natural selection, emphasizing that the individuals best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Front

What is Variation in biology?

Back

Variation refers to the genetic differences among individuals within the same species, which can lead to different traits.

Front

What are Vestigial Structures?

Back

Vestigial Structures are body parts that have lost their original function through evolution, such as the human appendix.

Front

What is Adaptation?

Back

Adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.

Front

What is the Fossil Record?

Back

The Fossil Record is the history of life on Earth as documented by fossils, providing evidence of evolution.

Front

What is Embryology?

Back

Embryology is the study of embryos and their development, which can show similarities between different species, indicating common ancestry.

Front

What is a Mutation?

Back

A Mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of an organism, which can lead to new traits.
