Please place all the terms into a concept map. Please be sure to describe the nature of the connections and

describe WHY each linkage is made. (we need to connect the words with lines with a word or two beside it describing how they are connected, appreciate your help).

Sticklebacks

speciation

experimental evolution

extinction

law of succession

transitional fossil

uniformitarianism

radiometric dating

Geologic time scale

Solution

i) Microevolution: As the name suggests it a kind of evolution happens in a small group (micro) over a short period of time. On the contrary ii) Macroevolution: describes us about a major evolutionary change of a group (taxonomic) over a long period of time.

iii) \"On the origin of species\": Basically it is a book written by Darwin. As our father of evolutionary studies Charles Darwin suggests by means of natural slection favoured species only exists, this is the basis of evolution.

iv) Selective breeding: where we use artificial breeding method to select particularly a phenotypic trait and produce it, like plant breeding methods in a artificial way.

v) Sticklebacks: A family of fish most commonly found in oceans, also found in fresh waters. They are found in continents like Asia, Africa, North America. They are also realted to seahorses.

vi) Speciation: Through the process of evolution the formation of new species is known as speciation.

vii) Experimantal evolution: This is to talk about the laboratory invented process of manipulating and controlling the evolutionary process in an controlled environment.

viii) Extinction: When through the process of evolution species get extinct from the face of earth, or they get ousted or completely removed.

ix) Law of Succession: In order to establish a species on an area(eg-barren land) there must be primary species like moses and lichens to go and settle down then over the period of time other species settles.

x) transitional fossil: Transition simply means the relation between the old and the new (that has evolved), similarly transitional fossil are those which shows similarity between their ancestors and also to the decendents, the relation between or link between them.

xi) Vestigal: We call any organ vestigial when its no more in use, like a rudimentary or remnant of something, some organ that was in use before. eg- Vestigial wings of Kiwis are hidden entirely.

xii) homology: Simple meaning is similarity of analogy like protein structure are same in many proteins, so they have homology.

xiii) Molecular homology: When we find the molecular level similarity, as in cases of some protein structure have alpha chains similarity.

xiv) convergent evolution: Independent evolutuion also known as, where species have evolved independent to each other.

xv) common ancestor: Common sharing from where organisms evolved, like under the most common ancestors organisms have evolved.

xvi) uniformitarianism: Where a continuous and uniform process has changed the earth crust over a long period of time during geological period, history suggests.

xvii) radiometric dating: Is a technique where materials are dated such as rocks or carbon using radioactive method as radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when they were formed.

xviii) Geologic time scale: A methos used by geologists to syatematically date things those are related to geological strata to time.
