Evolution
Adaptations
-
Functional (Phycological) Adaptations - A body process. E.G Efficient kidney function in camels to preserve water in the desert.
Structural Adaptations - Physical features of an organism. E.G Presence of wings for flight or specific break type for feeding
-
Biodiversity
Biodiversity or biological diversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level.
Most people recognize biodiversity by species—a group of individual living organisms that can interbreed. Examples of species include blue whales, white-tailed deer, white pine trees and sunflowers
-
Fossils
-
-
Types of fossils - Mald/cast, Carbon imprint, Amber, Whole organism, Petrified fossil
Patterns of evolution
Divergent Evolution - a single species, gives rise to a completely new species. E.G Humans and apes
Convergent Evolution - two different species start tart to resemble one another E.G Humans and octopuses
Parallel Evolution - When related species evolve similar features independently. E.G Browsing horses and paleotheres
Natural selection
A process where the occurrence of a particular trait in a population change as a result of certain individuals being fitter and producing more the viable offspring that are better suited for reproduction in the environment.
Examples are - Selection pressure, Selected for, Selected against, Selective Advantage, Population, Natural Selection
