What is a sporophyte

The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis.

A diploid form of a plant

What is gene flow

Gene flow is genes moving between two populations.

the transfer of genes from one gene pool to another

two populations transferring genes

What is an example of a vestigal structure

wings of a ostrich

What is the index fossil of the Cambrian

Trilobite

What makes evolution a theory

It is supported by data.

What is an effect of adaptive radiation

Speciation Adaptive radiation refers to changes in a species in response to varying environmental conditions.

many new species form

Which type of organism most likely evolved first

microbes were the first inhabitants of earth. they are single-celled organisms; bacteria, fungi and protozoa. (: and Simple prokaryotes

Which is the largest level of classification on this list

Kingdom

Which is an example of genetic drift

The distribution of alleles changes due to random chance.

or

The allele frequency of a population changes due to a bottleneck effect. <apex>

Which increases the rate of speciation

Population bottlenecks

Reproductive isolation

Niche availability

Which type of organism is the most complex

Which of these organisms is considered the most complex?

How can islation lead to formation of new species

Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).
