Does natural selection make changes in individuals and populations?
Populations
Fitness
Amount of offspring you've had
major misconception of natural selection
That animals get to pick and choose what they want or need.
relative dating
Uses the rock layers to find the approximate age of a fossil
absolute dating
measures carbon 14 amount ina fossil and plugs it into an equation to find the exact age of the fossil.
five areas of science that have evidence for evolution
Paleontology, biogeography, developmental biology, morphology and genetics
why is carbon-14 important
Its how paleontologist find out exactly how old a fossil is.
embryology
scientist compare how similar the embryos are and the little differences between the vertebrates.
homologous structure
body parts that are similar in both structure and function.
morphology
comparing anatomy/body parts.
what language do scientist use to classify organisms by name
Latin
Two parts of a scientific name
Genus and species
taxonomy
process of classifying and naming organisms
scientist use what to categorize species relationships
physical traits
list of kingdoms
archeabacteria, eubacteria, protist, plants , animals and fungi.
carl linnaeus
Came up with the two part name classification system.
hierarchical system order
Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
most strict level of classification
Species
list of classes
amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles and fish

classification
the grouping of objects or organisms based on a set of criteria
aristotle's system of classification
-2 groups; plants and animals
-bloodless and red-blooded
-then grouped into habitats&morphology
linnaeus's system of classification
-broader than aristotle's
-1st formal taxonomic organization
binomial nomenclature
a 2 part specific name. 1st part=genus, 2nd part=species, often in greek or latin
taxon
named group of organisms
genus
a group of species that are closely related and share a common ancestor
order of classification
kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
cladistics
common system of classification today
cloadogram
a branching diagram that represents the proposed phylogeny or evolutionary history of a species or group
