Match the term to how it is evidence of evolution.

• Remains of organisms show how structures changed over time

• Embryonic Development

• Similar DNA/amino acid sequences show common ancestry

• Molecular Evidence

• Structures that served a purpose in ancestors but none in modern times show common ancestry

• Homologous structure

• Similar structures with different functions shows common ancestry

• Fossil Record

• Similar structures during gestation show common ancestry

• Vestigial Structures

• Populations; individuals

• Individuals, communities

• Communities, individuals

Match the types of selection to the correct example

• 
• Stabilizing

• 
• Directional

•

NGSS.HS-LS4-5

Match the the types of selection to the correct definition.

• one uncommon phenotype (physical trait) is selected over a more common phenotype

• Disruptive

• intermediate phenotypes are selected over phenotypes at both extremes

• Directional

• two opposite, but equally uncommon, phenotypes are selected over the most common phenotype

• Stabilizing

Match the Principle of Natural Selection to the correct definition.

• differences in traits of an individual from the group due to genetics

• variation

• species produce more young than will survive; results in competition for resources between offspring

• descent with modification

• certain variation allows an individual to survive better than other individuals it competes against

• overproduction

• over time species with adaptations that are well suited for survival and reproduction

• adaptation

Match the causes of reproductive isolation (the final step of speciation) to its description.

• Mating times occur at different times of the day or year

• Behavioral

• Differences in courting/mating rituals (ex. bird dances)

• Geographic

• Physical barrier separates (ex. river, canyon, mountain)

• Temporal
