Explain Convergent Evolution
Give an example |
|
Definition
the process in which unrelated organisms independently evolve, the structures are different but the function are the same
The wings of insects,birds,bats
the fuction is the same but the structure is different |

Compare Gradual Change
to
Puncutated Equilibrium Model |
|
Definition
Gradual: Species slowly, but continusly evolve over time
Equilibrium: Species stay the same for awhile, and then rapidly change |

Term
|
Definition
| One giraffe would keep streching its neck out to reach the leaves higher up on the trees. Then when it mates and reproduces the off-spring will have long necks |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Because the leaves that Giraffe eat are high up in the trees, the longer Giraffes will get the most food, and so when it reporduces the genes for long necks will be passed on to the off-spring |
