Darwin’s Finches are groups of birds with similar body shape and size but occupy their own niche and once had ancestral species. This is an example of
____.
DIVERGENT EVOLUTION1
The evolution of an ancestral species into an
array of species that occupy diverse habitats is called
_____ radiation.ADAPTIVE
2
Similar species : unrelated organism evolve similar traits because they
live in similar environments .
CONVERGENT EVOLUTION3
Structures that have a similar evolutionary origin and
structure but are adapted for different purposes, such as a bat
wing and a human arm, are called _____.
HOMOLOGOUS5
_______ can be best defined as the organism with favorable
traits that are able to reproduce and pass their traits on to their
offspring.
NATURAL SELECTION
7
Any structure that is reduced in function in
living organism but many have been used in an
ancestor is known as a ____________.VESTIGIAL
STRUCTURE8
A variety of structural adaptations called
__________ provides protection for an organism by copying the appearance
of another species.
MIMICRY
10
An adult python pelvic girdle has some leg bones imbedded in its body are
considered ______.
VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES11
True or False Regarding the theory of evolution:
•The theory is of changes in populations over time• The theory is changes in individuals not
populations over time• Fossil did not shape Darwin’s ideas regarding
Natural Selection•There are many examples documented in recent
years.

A structural adaptation enabling an organism to blend in with its
environment is called what?________CAMOUFLAGE

Paleontologist have concluded from fossils that ancestors of whales were possible land-
dwelling doglike animals. True of False.•These changes take place relatively quickly in
individuals•The fossil record is incomplete•The fossil record is complete
