that characterize diverse species are the result of many small genetic changes over an
extended period of time.
_______________________ causes genetic variations within a population that are
favorable to the current environmental conditions to be passed on to future generations,
causing changes in a species over time, or giving rise to new species.
The process of _______________ involves a structure, process or trait that improves an
animal’s fitness for survival and is at least partly inheritable.
The similarity in the forelimb bones of birds, bats, whales & humans are used to
demonstrate the concept of ____________.

______________.
Explain how the peppered moth situation in the U. K. shows evolutionary change by
describing the change in environmental conditions & the causes of these changes. What
