| FrontText | Describe, and explain, the characteristics that are likely to allow a population to evolve to tolerate a change in environment and the characteristics that are likely to cause a population to go extinct due to a change in environment. |

| BackText | Good for evolving to a change in environment...Larger population sizeMore genetic variation in the populationHigher reproduction rateAbility to pass plasmids from one individual to another (horizontal evolution)Higher proportion of gene loci that are polymorphicHigh mutation rateSexual reproductionSlower rate of change in the environmentWeaker selection pressure (When strong lots of death so few alleles being passed on) |

| FrontText | Define the term "species" |

| FrontText | Define the terms "homologous structure" and "divergent evolution". |
| FrontAudio | |
| BackText | Homologous structure: A structure that appears superficially different (and may have different functions) in different organisms but has the same underlying structure.Divergent evolution: A common ancestor species diverges over time into two species, resulting in a new species becoming less like the original one. |
