Have similar structure but different functions
- Human arm, bat wing, whale flipper, dog forelimb...
Same basic structure but different functions
* same structure adapted to different environments |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
unrelated organisms become similar because they adapted to the same environments
-Tuna (fish)
Shark (cartilaginous fish)
Dolphin (reptile)
Because they are all rapid swimming predators in an open ocean |

Term
|
Definition
similar organisms radiate from an area and adapt to their new areas = key characteristics vital to survival of specific organism in the new environment
- new species appear

Term
|
Definition
radiation or chemicals cause random mutations in DNA

Definition
sexual = insures variation of genes so population is able to adapt and survive in changing environments
way better than asexual reproduction (often becomes extinct |
|
|
Term

6 parts |
|
Definition
1)Populations can increase exponentially
2)But guess what? They don't.
3)So many must die before reproducing
4)Traits are varied within a species
5)Some traits are hotter than others
6)Traits are passed to offspring
Hot guys (with favourable traits) get laid |
