1. Structure such as the human tailbone or appendix that evolution has reduced in size because it is no longer used = d. vestigial structure
2. study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species:
= g. comparative anatomy
3. structure that is similar in related organisms because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = c. homologous structure
4. study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species: study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species = j. comparative embryology
5. scientist who finds and studies fossils to learn about evolution and understand the past:
= i. paleontologist
6. mistaken idea of jean baptiste lamarck that evolution occurs through the inheritance of traits that an organism develops in its own lifetime: = h. inheritance of acquired characteristics
7. process by which a single species evolves into many new species to fill available niches:
= e. adaptive radiation
8. relative ability of an organism to survive and produce fertile offspring: = k. fitness
9. structure that is similar in unrelated organisms because it evolved to do the same job, not because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = f. analogous structure
10. study of how and why plants and animals live where they do: = a. biogeography
11. process in which organisms evolve traits useful to humans because people select which individuals are allowed to reproduce and pass on their genes to successive generations:
= b. artificial selection
Both, actually. They both add up to 46 chromosomes. If you have less than 46, you will come out with Autism. Hope this helps!
Though they are constantly changing, ecosystem are naturally BALANCED.
An ecosystem is said to be balanced, when the components of the ecosystem are in harmony. Two of the principal processes that usually throw ecosystems out of balance is pollution and hunting.
Any pair of chromosomes other than that of sex pair of chromosomes are referred to as autosomes or autosomal chromosomes.
