The change in a population over time is called
Evolution
Homologous structures
True/False - Individuals evolve over time
True! Let's all think really hard so we can evolve Wings!
False! Populations evolve, not individuals
Which one is not considered an adaptation
Hair
Camouflage
Flying
Vestigial structures
True/False - All traits are adaptations.
False
True
The differences among a species, like different shaped turtle shells, are called
Toast
Hibernation
Selection
Variations
True/False - Organisms decide to change over time
True! We can be anything we need to be.
False! The environment shapes organisms
The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in their environment
Strength
Fitness
Thirst
Hotness
When an animal breeder or farmer chooses the best traits to produce a better livestock they are using the process of
Natural selection
Artificial Selection
The term for a group of similar organisms that can reproduce and make fertile offspring
Species
Appendix
Homologous structures
Variation
Phrase that goes with "the fittest don't die out and therefore reproduce and pass on their genes"
Survival of the Fittest
Equality for all
True/False - Evolution by natural selection is a scientific theory.
True! It's been tested with experiment many times
False, it's totally made up
The name of the process where organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Artificial selection
Natural Selection
