100 Darwin
What are Darwins four postulates?
3
100 Answer Darwin

1. In every population there is variety.
2. Some of that variety is passed on to offspring.
3. In every generation there are more individuals
   born than can survive.
4. Over time, the individuals who are the most fit
   for their environment will survive better to
   reproduce.

200 Darwin
Darwin identified thirteen different species of
finches in the Galapagos, which he determined had
all descended from a common ancestor. These
finches had developed different beak shapes to
adapt to the various food sources on different
islands. This is an example of _________________.
5
200 Answer Darwin
Adaptive Radiation

theory of evolution through natural selection?
7
300 Answer Darwin
On the Origin of Species

400 Darwin
What is speciation and how is it related to the
picture below?
9
400 Answer Darwin
Speciation is the formation of a new species

500 Darwin
Where did Darwin conduct most of his research
that lead him to develop his ideas about descent
with modification through natural selection?
11
500 Answer Darwin
The Galapagos Islands

100 Evidence
Some animals have structures with similar origins
but different purposes, such as the flipper of a
whale and the wing of a bat. These are called

15
200 Answer Evidence
The tailbone and the appendix
16
300 Evidence
What is an analogous structure?
17

Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
29
400 Answer Mechanisms

34
200 Natural Selection
The peppered moth provides an example of what
type of natural selection?
