artificial selection | process by which humans encourage the development of specific traits by increasing the reproductive success of individuals with those traits |
bottleneck | a process by which the genetic makeup of a population changes because all but a few individuals in the population are eliminated |
coevolution | the process by which two or more species evolve in response to each other |
competition | the struggle between organisms for limited resources |
convergent evolution | the process by which unrelated species evolve similar characteristics that help them survive in similar environments |
divergent evolution | the process by which two or more populations evolve differently from a common parent population |
geographic isolation | reproductive isolation that is caused bya geographical barrier such as a river |
holmolgous structures | features in different species that have the same evolutionary origin, butmay perform different functions at present |
