When individuals or groups of organisms compete for similar resources such as territory, mates, water, and food within the same environment

Q.
A theorized process in which early eukaryotic cells were formed from simpler prokaryotes
4

Q.
A process in which a new species develops from a preexisting species (biological evolution or macroeveolution); a change in the allele frequencies of a population of organisms from generation to generation (genetic evolution or microevolution)

Q.
A term that typically describes a species that no longer has any known living individuals
6

Q.
The preserved remains or traces of organism that once roamed Earth
7

Q.
A decrease in genetic variation caused by the formation of a new population by a small number of individuals from a larger population
8
30 sec
Q.
A change in the allele frequency of a population as a result of chance events rather than natural selection
9
30 sec
Q.
A proposed explanation in evolutionary biology stating that new species arise from the result of slight modifications (mutations and their resulting phenotypes) over many generations
10
30 sec
Q.
A physical characteristic in different organisms that is similar because it was inherited from a common ancestor
11
30 sec
Q.
The permanent movement of genes into or out of a population resulting in the change in allele frequencies
12
30 sec
Q.
A process in nature in which organisms possessing certain inherited traits are better able to survive and reproduce compared to others of their species
13
30 sec
Q.
A proposed explanation in evolutionary biology stating that species are generally stable over long period of time. Occasionally there are rapid changes that affect some species which can quickly result in a new species
14

Q.
A process typically cause by genetic isolation from a main population resulting in a new genetically distinct species
15
30 sec
Q.
The lowest taxonomic level of biological classification consisting of organisms capable of reproduction that results in fertile offspring
16

Q.
A physical characteristic in organisms that appears to have lost its original function as a species has changed over time
