What explains embryonic pattern formation in a wide variety of organisms

The embryonic stage is a typical stage in development for animals that reproduce sexually, and it has stood the test of evolution in several species.

What is a modeling of the phylogeny of a species

cladistics

Speciation is the process by which new species are formed Which of the following circumstances is most likely to lead to speciation

A population becomes separated by different environments and do not reproduce with one another.

What is genic drift

Genetic drift is change in allele frequencies due to random chance events.

Two types are the Founder effect and the Bottleneck effect.

The founder effect is when a subset of a population goes to a new are where there are no other of that same species.

The bottleneck effect is when a large population is reduced to a small population.

Genetic drift decreases variation in a population and has a greater effect on a smaller population than a larger one.

What is the difference between a hypothesis a theory and a conclusion drawn from hypothesis testing

A hypothesis is a suggestion of a way to explain something. If the hypothesis is tested and confirmed, it can advance to the status of theory. The conclusion of testing a hypothesis will be either that the hypothesis is confirmed, or it is not confirmed.

What best describes the theory of evolution

A theory supported by evidence (apex)

What two things make a fossil an index fossil

Is adaptation a cause of natural selection

No, it's exactly the other way around: natural selection causes adaptation.

What is the change that occurred in peppered moths is an example of what

Adaptation and speciation through natural selection
