Evolution - Is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations theses characteristics are the expressions of genes which are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction
-
Darwin- Descent with modification the idea that species change over time give rise to new species and share a common ancestor
-
Embryos/Embryology - An unborn or unhatched offspring in the process of development in particular a human offspring during the period from approximately the second to the eighth week after fertilization
Cytochrome C- Is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion
Adaptation- is defined a heritable behavioral, morphological or physiological traits that has evolved through the process of natural selection and maintains or increases the fitness of an organism under a given set of environment conditions
-
-
-
Analogous structures- Are features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral
Artificial Selection - the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals, and the steps taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits in future generations
-
Vestigial Structures - Structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from past ancestor
Heritability- a measure of how well differences in peoples genes account for difference in their traits
-
Fossil - The remain or impression of a prehistoric organism preserved in petrified form or as a mold or cast in rock
-
DNA - A self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes it is the carrier of genetic information
-
Natural Selection - The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more
-
Fitness - how good a particular genotype is at leaving in the next generation relative to other genotypes
