is the actual genetic make-up an individual.

are threadlike configurations that carry the cell's genetic information.

is the basic unit of heredity

is considered to be the building blocks of chromosomes. They are the chemical substances that make-up chromosomes.

is an observable trait

basically occurs once the DNA was not successful in replicating itself

are mutations that occur in neutral circumstances or purely by chance

are environmental factors that cause mutation.

happens when random events cause changes in the population gene pool over a long period of time.

is the short term changes in the genes of a generation of a particular species to the next one.

on the other hand occurs over very long periods of time and has the effect of changing entirely both the genetic make-up and physical attributes of an organism.

which is the statistical study of the changes in a population's gene pool as it is inherited from one generation to another.

is a kind of change that happens through a long period of time.

on the other hand refers to a kind of changes that occur. within a cultural tradition and way of life that leads to its development or progress.

on the other hand refers to a kind of changes that occur within a cultural tradition and way of life that leads to its development or progress.

refers to the creation of everything including all creatures that walk the earth.

is man's ability to logically or systematically analyze different situations and in turn inferring from certain set of premises a logically valid conclusion to answer a particular issue or address a specific problem

is characterized as the science of the life

is a mechanism to classify different life forms according to a measurement of perfection

is a mode of classifying organisms by looking closely at their physical characteristics.

is a classifying system developed by Carolus Linnaeus that classifies different organisms having similar characteristics into one category.

means that the earth is very old and that gradual changes occur within its geophysical structure on a consistent basis. These changes in the geologic structure of the earth were brought about by a steady array of natural forces such as strong winds, pressure, heat and rain.

is a theory which was based on the biblical account that forces directed by supernatural powers are the ones responsible for shaping the earth

means new species are not created outright but are descendants of older species. In this manner, species having the same characteristics descend from other earlier life forms having the same characteristics.

means that the specie having the most efficient characteristic will continue to survive and will best other species having less efficient traits.

means that an entire population of a specie have all died out living no room for reproduction

means that the characteristics of parents will blend in the offspring erasing the original characteristic forever

are traits that come out whenever paired with a recessive trait.

on the other hand are traits that will not surface out if paired with a dominant trait but will surely resurface when paired with another recessive trait.
