Every embryo is the same until it starts to evolve to change
into the specific species with their different traits

Bacteria-We used a graph and a simulation to show what would happen if you took an antibiotic for your bacterial infection

Giraffes-Darwin and Lamarck battled the study of giraffes but scientists find Darwin's theory to be more convincing

Whales-the whales evolved because of the land mammals many million years ago. They eventually evolved into seamammals

Galapagos Finch-there are many different types of finches,and scientists use them to study their beak shape

Beetles-have many variations that evolved into species-
diverse

Mosquitoes-become resistant to DDT and are still resistant

Habitat loss-destruction of Earth's natural habitats due to human actions such as agriculture, forestry, mining, and urbanization

The Sixth Extinction-current mass extinction; caused
primarily by human actions

Exotic Species-species that is introduced usually by human action into a new habitat where it may lack local predators and out-compete native species
