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

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

Natural Selection

Front

What is it called when a species develops unique traits because it is trapped in one area? Options: Geographic isolation, Geologic separation, General relocation, Genetic differentiation.

Back

Geographic isolation

Front

Why doesn't the salmon population increase dramatically despite one female laying hundreds of eggs?

Back

Most offspring do not grow up to reproduce

Front

Emus are found in Australia, Ostriches are found in Africa. They evolved separately to fill similar niches. This is a prime example of:
- Geographic isolation
- Psuedoevolution
- Pangea
- Continental drift

Back

Geographic isolation

How could natural selection explain the rise of "SuperBugs" (bacteria that aren't affected by antibiotics)?

Back

Superbugs survive antibiotics and reproduce
