- - - - adaptation: A heritable trait favored by natural selection for its current function.
        
        evolve: To change heritable traits from one generation to the next.
        
        natural selection: the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
        
        ancestor: An earlier type of animal or plant from which others have evolved.
        
        ancestral species: Common ancestor of organisms that evolved into separate species.
        
        extinction: An event in which the last members of a species or group die.
        
        species: A group of individuals that
        
        potentially interbreed in nature.
        
        species form.
        
        ring species: series of neighboring populations which can breed with closely related populations, but the two "end" populations are too distantly related to breed.
        
        paleontologist: A scientist who studies fossils.
        
        stratigraphic column: A diagram representing a series of rock layers.
        
        DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid; a long molecule made of repeating subunits, that contains the genes.
        
        embryo: Organism in the early stages of development before it is born or hatched.
        
        embryo: Organism in the early stages of development before it is born or hatched.
        
        The stages are identified as early, middle, and late based on the total length of embryonic development for the animal.
        
        Whole embryo matching- match the cards with the correct animal with its early, middle, and late stage of embryonic development
        
        Habitat destruction and degradation
        
        • Over-exploitation (extraction, hunting, fishing etc.)
        
        • Pollution
        
        • Disease
        
        • Invasive species
        
        • Global climate change (changes in migratory species, coral bleaching)
        
        all the extinctions happens at the same time.
        
        fossil: Any trace of a living organism (body, part of body, burrow, footprint, etc.) preserved over time.
        law of superposition: A basic law stating that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on bottom.
