Natural Selection
Sloppy joes
Vestigial structures
Embryology
A change in the DNA sequence of a gene
Phenotype
Genotype
Chromosome
Mutation
A physical or behavioral trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment

Embryology
Homologous Structure
The traces or remains of a once living organism
Fossils
Embryos
A molecule that contains the genetic instructions an organism needs to develop, live, and reproduce.
Lipids
Protein
Carbohydrates
DNA
The comparison of embryo development of different species.
Homologous structures
Comparative Embryology
When no individuals of a species are alive

Vestigial
Extinction
The best adapted to their environment is called:
Toast
The fittest
A humdinger
The baddest
Organisms that are able to survive are more likely to pass their traits onto offspring, which is called
