3. The term used for similar characteristics shared by organisms is called hematology.
4. The DNA codes and similar proteins of various organisms showed striking
similarities.
5. The continental drift theory developed by Darwin Wegener states that the movement
of plate tectonics shifted different continents, isolating certain landmasses.
6. All continents form from pieces of one giant supercontinent called Pangaea.

8. More offspring are produced than can survive. In living organisms, many
characteristics are inherited, or passed from parent to offspring.
9. Offspring vary in their heritable traits. The offspring in any generation will be slightly
different from one another in their traits (color, size, shape, etc.).
10. Traits are often heritable. Organisms are capable of producing more offspring than
