- 1. Multiple ChoiceFossilsDNA is similar in species that share a common ancestorA process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.Similarities between organisms based on descent from a common ancestor.Preserved remains of once-living organisms
- 2. Multiple ChoiceEvolutionA process in which individuals that have certain inherited traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.The gradual change in a species over timeEnglish natural scientist who formulated a theory of evolution by natural selection (1809-1882)DNA is similar in species that share a common ancestor
- 3. Multiple ChoiceSpeciationstructures that are the reduced forms of functional structures in other organismsA trait that is beneficial to an organism and will likely be chosen by natural selectionthe formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution.how well an organism can survive and reproduce in its environment
