Q

believed that evolution was driven by an innate tendency forward greater and greater complexity, or perfection
mechanisms proposed were: use and disuse- those body parts used most became stronger and larger
inhertiance of aquired characteristics- modifications acquired can be passed to offspring

A

Jean Baptiste LAMARCK

17
Q

1809

theory shaped by several diff fields of study- geology, economics, voyage of the beagle

A

charles darwin

18

1859 The origin of species is published detailing his ideas with observational support

A

Charles Darwin

19
Q

heritable change in one or more characteristics of a pop or species from one generation to the next

A

evolution

due to two factors: variation and natural selection

20

congergent evolution
selective breeding 
homologies- anatomical, developmental, and molecular

study of the geographical distruction of extince and modern speices

A

biogeography

22
Q

naturally found only in a particular location

A

endemic

23
Q

2 diff species from diff lineages show similar characterisitcs because they occupy similar environments
ex. anteater and echidna both have long snouts and tongues to feed on ants

A

programs and procedures desinged to modofiy traits in domesticated species

A

selective breeding/artificial selection
