This is the mechanism for evolution. It stands for variation, inheritance, selection, and time. 
- Natural Selection
The process when an organism adapts and changes for its own benefit. 
- Mutation
Mutation is a change in DNA sequence. 
- Sexual Selection
The color or size of a certain gender to help gain mates. 
- Genetic Drift
The frequency of different genotypes in a certain population. 
- Bottle Neck Effect
When a species goes through an event that suddenly and significantly reduces the population. 
- Founder Effect
A reduction in genetic variation when a population establishes a new colony. 
- Homologous Structures
Similar structures between relate organisms. 
- Vestigial Organs
Organs that have no function but remain from past ancestors. 
- Ontogeny Recapitulates  Phylogeny
Also called Recpitulation Theory, suggests that an organism's development will take it through each of the adult stages of its evolutionary history, or its phylogeny.
- Molecular Evolution
The change of sequence in DNA or RNA molecules. ]]> 2021-05-18 20:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1537430917 madisongates2 https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554642508 Convergent evolution is when different organisms independently evolve similar traits. ]]> 2021-05-24 17:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554642508 madisongates2 https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554650960 Divergent evolution is the process whereby groups from the same common ancestor evolve and accumulate differences, resulting in the formation of new species.]]> 2021-05-24 17:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554650960 madisongates2 https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554661527 - South Pacific
- 20 different subspecies
- very territorial

- called Wolbachia
- Wolbachia lives inside the reproductive cells 
- this parasite kills the males because they are "useless" for the bacteria's survival
- because of this parasite the male percentage dropped to 1%

- as they developed immunity male population rose to 40%
- biologists believe this is one of the fastest evolutionary change ever
- the parasite is still "alive" in the butterflies but it no longer affects them]]> 2021-05-24 17:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554670756 madisongates2 https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554716910 2021-05-24 17:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/madisongates2/3wflolrb3nfhu4ze/wish/1554716910
