What are the main ideas Darwin proposed?
Survival of the fittest and natural selection
37
What was Darwins work titled and why did Darwin wait so long to publish his work?
On the Origin of Species He knew there was going to be lots of controversy, so he wanted to make sure he had enough evidence and data to back himself up
38
What does the term “survival of the fittest” mean?
Good adaptations and help = more likely to survive and reproduce
39
What does the term “natural selection” mean?
People are breeding them, they mate on their own
40
What people influenced Darwin?
James Hutton, Charles Lyell, Lamark, Malthus
41
What physical structures were evidence of evolution to Darwin?
Presence of vestigial organs. Es: human appendix because it no longer serves a purpose
42
What does the term “fitness” mean?
An organisms ability to survive and reproduce in its environment
43
What does vestigial structure mean?
A physical feature or organ in an organism that has lost its original function through the course of of evolution.
44
What does homologous structure mean?
A physical feature or organ in different organisms that have SIMILAR STRUCTURE but DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS Ex: forelimbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats have similar bone structure but very different functions
45
What does analogous structure mean?
A physical feature or organ in different organisms that have SIMILAR FUNCTIONS but DIFFERENT STUCTURES Ex: wings of birds and butterflies. Both have wings for flying but are built very differently
46
