The change in a population over time is called
Homologous structures
Evolution
True/False - Individuals evolve over time
True! Let's all think really hard so we can evolve Wings!
False! Populations evolve, not individuals
True/False - Organisms decide to change over time
True! We can be anything we need to be.
False! The environment shapes organisms
The name of the process where organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Natural Selection
Artificial selection
Traits that allow an organism to survive and reproduce in their environment
Organelles
Chromosomes
Adaptations
Embryological similarities
The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in their environment
Fitness
Strength
Thirst
Hotness
Which one is not considered an adaptation
Flying
Hair
Vestigial structures
Camouflage
True/False - Evolution by natural selection is a scientific theory.
False, it's totally made up
True! It's been tested with experiment many times
These are the remains of organisms that lived long ago and can be connected to organisms that live in the modern time
Vestigial structures
Fossils
Phrase that goes with "the fittest don't die out and therefore reproduce and pass on their genes"
Equality for all
Survival of the Fittest
When an animal breeder or farmer chooses the best traits to produce a better livestock they are using the process of
Artificial Selection
Natural selection
Give an example of an artificially selected organism
Corn
Maple trees
Dandylions
Spruce trees
By having these (insert term we learned), organisms can have increased fitness
Blue fur
Food cravings
Adaptations
Toast
The differences among a species, like different shaped turtle shells, are called
Selection
