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

2. 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.
