Explanation:

• Biological Evolution: Change in species over time. Brief: Species - change.
• Transitional Fossils: Fossils showing intermediate forms. Brief: Intermediate fossils.
• Homologous Structures: Structures from common ancestor. Brief: Common - origin parts.
• Common Ancestor: Ancestor shared by species. Brief: Shared ancestor.
• Analogous Structures: Structures with similar function, different origin. Brief: Similar - function parts.
• Vestigial Structures: Remnants with no major function. Brief: Function - less remnants.
• Comparative Biochemistry: Comparing biochemicals in organisms. Brief: Biochem comparison.
• Comparative Anatomy: Comparing body structures. Brief: Body - structure comp.
• DNA Sequencing Techniques: Methods to determine DNA sequence. Brief: DNA - seq methods.
• Pesticide Resistance: Ability to withstand pesticides. Brief: Pesticide - tolerance.
• Polymerase Chain Reaction: Technique to amplify DNA. Brief: DNA - amplification.
• Amino Acids: Building blocks of proteins. Brief: Protein - building blocks.
• Embryology: Study of embryo development. Brief: Embryo study.
• Embryological Development: Growth of an embryo. Brief: Embryo growth.
• Vertebrates: Animals with backbones. Brief: Back - boned animals.
• Invertebrates: Animals without backbones. Brief: No - backbone animals.
