20. ______is the concept that living species on Earth continually change.

21. The theory of ______states that all living things share a common ancestor.

22.The theory of ______states that major anatomical changes in a species are the result of

many small genetic changes over an extended period of time.

23. ______causes genetic variations within a population that are favorable to the

current environmental conditions to be passed on to future generations, causing changes in a species

over time, or giving rise to new species.
