Multiple Select

Which of the following statements are true about Natural Selection? (select all that apply)

1

It is a process that allows organisms to adapt to their environments.

2

It happens instantly within an animals lifetime.

3

It is a constant process that happens over many generation.

4

It occurs because environments do not change.

5

It occurs because environments change causing the factors of an organisms survival to change.

​Fossil Evidence

  • ​Presents of vestigial structures in living descendants.

    • Vestigial Struture = structures that are remaining from ancestors that are small or imperfectly developed and unable to function.

      • EX: human appendix, leg bones in whales , human tailbone.
