7. vestigial traits 8. biogeography
existing theories of evolution - (answers)young earth, species perfect created by
God, fixed and did not vary
Darwin and Wallace's theories - (answers)species change, common descent,
multiplication of species, gradualism, natural selection, descent with modification
biogeography - (answers)law of succession; where fossils are found is where they
lived. shows hoe species change over time through the fossil record

artificial breeding - (answers)can see evolution in real time
intermediate forms - (answers)gradual stages between simple and complex
structures
imperfections - (answers)a perfect creator would not engineer organisms with
deficiencies
transitional fossils - (answers)tell us how gradual evolution may have occurred
hierarchical organization of life - (answers)common ancestor-->descendants--
>different branches
homology - (answers)different organisms have similar underlying molecular and
anatomical structures; exist because of shared ancestry
vestigial traits - (answers)useless structures (a type of homology)
homoplasy - (answers)the same traits but derived independently
four postulates - (answers)variation, heritability, struggle for existence,
differential survival and reproduction
