Darwin’s Finches are groups of birds with similar body shape and size but occupy their own niche and once had ancestral species. This is an example of

____.DIVERGENT EVOLUTION

1

The evolution of an ancestral species into an

array of species that occupy diverse habitats is called

_____ radiation.ADAPTIVE

2

Similar species : unrelated organism evolve similar traits because they

live in similar environments .

CONVERGENT EVOLUTION3

The Akialoa shown on top has a beak that does

what?

TO REACH NECTAR IN FLOWERS

4

Structures that have a similar evolutionary origin and

structure but are adapted for different purposes, such as a bat

wing and a human arm, are called _____.

HOMOLOGOUS5

Similar structure and function, have no

common evolutionary origin..

ANALOGOUS

6

_______ can be best defined as the organism with favorable

traits that are able to reproduce and pass their traits on to their

offspring.

NATURAL SELECTION

7

Any structure that is reduced in function in

living organism but many have been used in an

ancestor is known as a ____________.VESTIGIAL

STRUCTURE8

The movement of genes into and out of the gene pool is called ______.

GENE FLOW9

A variety of structural adaptations called

__________ provides protection for an organism by copying the appearance

of another species.

MIMICRY

10

An adult python pelvic girdle has some leg bones imbedded in its body are

considered ______.

VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES11

True or False Regarding the theory of evolution:

•The theory is of changes in populations over time• The theory is changes in individuals not

populations over time• Fossil did not shape Darwin’s ideas regarding

Natural Selection•There are many examples documented in recent

years.
