Evolution & Natural Selection Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST: natural selection : the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change, alleles : one of two or more genes that may occur alternatively at a given site on a chromosome, sexual: dominant form of reproduction in living beings, asexual: occurs when an organism makes more of itself without exchanging genetic information with another organism through sex, prokaryotic : a type of cell that does not have a true nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, eukaryotic : organism with complex cells, or a single cell with complex structures, adaptations : a modification of an organism or its parts that makes it more fit for existence, genetic drift : the change in frequency of an existing gene variant in the population due to random chance, gene flow : the transfer of genetic material from one population to another, speciation : how a new kind of plant or animal species is created, extinction : the dying out of a species, bacteria : microscopic living organisms that have only one cell, binary fission : a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism divides into two, each part carrying one copy of genetic material, homologous structures : similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions, analogous structures : features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral feature, coevolution : the process of reciprocal evolutionary change that occurs between pairs of species or among groups of species as they interact with one another, sexual selection : the process by which individuals compete for access to mates and fertilization opportunities, selective breeding : choosing parents with particular characteristics to breed together and produce offspring with more desirable characteristics, embryology : the study of the embryo and its development from a single-celled zygote to the establishment of form and shape, viruses : an infectious agent that can only replicate within a host organism
