Natural Selection

Front

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Back

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Front

Mutations are a change in what?

Back

DNA

Front

The differences among a species, like different bird beaks, are called

Back

variations.

Front

Why is the mouse population changing over time?

Back

The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily

Where do adaptations come from?

Back

Both mutations and genetic recombination are sources of adaptation

Front

"Organisms that are better adapted to the environment survive to pass traits to their offspring"

Front

Role of mutations in natural selection?

Back

A mutation may result in a beneficial trait that makes an organism more likely to survive and reproduce

Front

All rabbits of the same species living in a particular area would be an example of a(n):

• population
• species
• community
• ecosystem

Back

population

Front

The more genetic variation a population has, the more likely it is for some individuals to: evolve, migrate, survive, mutate.

survive
