Examples would be: Snakes, Butterflies.

I chose this one for last because it also ties in with Natural Selection, if a butterfly taste better then a different type of butterfly then that butterfly is going to Mimic how the other one looks so it doesn't get eaten .]]> 2017-05-19 13:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/natdelaine/4o9y9qu3h8ea/wish/172798792 #4 natdelaine https://padlet.com/natdelaine/4o9y9qu3h8ea/wish/172800594 Camouflage: When an organism blends in with surroundings.
EX: Chameleon, Snow Fox, Peppered Moth.

I chose Camouflage for #4 because this ties along with Natural Selection, if some of the animals are camouflage then the animals cant see their food. ]]> 2017-05-19 13:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/natdelaine/4o9y9qu3h8ea/wish/172800594 #3 natdelaine https://padlet.com/natdelaine/4o9y9qu3h8ea/wish/172801172 Descent with modification: describes the process of evolution.
  • Every species living or extinct descended y reproduction from preexisting species and those species change over time.
  • All species had descended from only one or a few original kinds of life. 
I chose Decent with Modification as #3 because it just helps explain the whole process along with all the clues from Charles Darwin.

  • Populations show variations for almost all trait.
  • Certain variations improve survivor ship.
  • If variations are heritable, frequency increases with each generation.
  • Known as the survival of the fittest.
I chose this for #2 because Natural Selection comes next in the whole process. Animals favor something over something else.

Without Charles the theory of evolution wouldn't have be founded, or it would be founded and we just wouldn't know all the information we do. So Charles Darwin plays the most important role in this.
  • Charles worked on a ship for 5 years traveling from England to South America and throughout South Pacific to Australia.
  • He collected and studied and stored his experiments.
  • Finch observations stated that there were 13 similar species of the Finches. Each of the species had a beak fro certain types of food. Darwin suspected the 13 species descended from and diverged from their ancestors.   
I have chose #1 as #1 because I feel that Charles Darwin is the key aspect to what made Evolution work. He helped us understand the process and why things happened the way they did.
