1.
A species that is native to a specific area and is found nowhere else on earth.
2.
Fitness is how well an organism survives and reproduces, passing its genes to the next generation.
3.
A theory that evolution happens slowly and steadily over long periods of time, rather than in one sudden event.
4.
A species that is closely related to other species on the phylogenetic tree but is not part of the species that is being studied (ingroup).
5.
The process where one species splits into two or more different species, mainly due to geographic separation or different mating behaviors.
6.
The study of how organisms are classified and their evolutionary relationships (phylogeny) to each other to understand their history.
7.
The study of naming, describing, and grouping organisms into categories like kingdom, genus, and species.
8.
Small changes in gene frequencies within a population over a short period of time.
9.
A diagram shows the evolutionary relationships between organisms based on shared characteristics.
10.
The movement of genes from one population to another, usually through migration which increases diversity within a population.
