Covers definitions and evidence: fossils, mutations, variation, species and population, and how new species form through geographic isolation and genetic divergence. Explains key ideas such as Darwin’s natural selection, evolutionary trees, and the meaning of “survival of the fittest.” Includes inheritance fundamentals: gametes, where genetic information is stored, genes, meiosis, chromosomes, alleles, genotypes, recessive alleles, Punnett squares, genetic diseases, genomes, genetic engineering, and DNA structure.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/evolution-and-inheritance-core-questions-and-answers/408901/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/evolution-and-inheritance-core-questions-and-answers/408901.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"pop out","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-09","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",14,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What is a fossil and why does it matter for evolution?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"A fossil is the stone remains of an organism that lived millions of years ago.

The stone remains of an organism that lived millions of years ago  \n2. How do fossils provide evidence of evolution? Show what organisms looked like millions of years ago and how they differ from those that arealive today  \n3. What is a mutation? A change to the DNA of an organism  \n4. Describe how selective breeding is carried out. Select two parents that have the characteristics you want and breed them together over many generations until you achieve the characteristic you want.  \n5. Who proposed the Theory of Natural Selection? Charles Darwin  \n6. What does an evolutionary tree illustrate? How organisms are related based on their evolutionary origins determined by their Physical characteristics and upon their DNA  \n7. What is meant by the phrase “Survival of the fittest? The best adapted/suited animals to their habitats survive  \n8. Define a species. A group of organism that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring  \n9. Define a population. A group of organisms of the same species, living in the same area.  \n10. What is variation? Differences between members of the same species  \n11. How do new species arise? A single population becomes isolated geographically, they adapt to their new environments over many years and become so genetically different that when they come together again they can no longer interbreed.  \nInheritance and Selection  \nCore questions  \n1.

How many chromosomes are there in a human gamete? 23  \n7. What is an allele? An alternative form of a gene  \n8. Write down the genotype of a female XX  \n9. What is meant by a recessive allele? Only shows up in the phenotype if there are 2 present  \n10. What is a punnett square? Table used to determine the probability of offspring  \n11. Name a genetic disease caused by a recessive allele Cystic fibrosis  \n12. Name a genetic disease caused by a dominant allele Polydactylyl  \n13. What is an organism’s genome? All of its DNA  \n14.
