1

Lamarck linked environment-driven changes to heredity, a view later challenged by genetics.

2

Organisms with favorable traits leave more offspring than others.

3

The Galapagos provided key comparative observations of species diversity.

4

Pea plants allowed clear study of inherited traits and ratios.

5

Gene pool encompasses all alleles present in the population.

6

Drift is stochastic, more pronounced in small populations.

7

Different species may share similar anatomical origins.

8

They hint at evolutionary history and past utility.

9

Macroevolution includes speciation and major shifts over long time.

10

Different organisms share ancestors and diverge over time.
