Any variation that makes an organism better suited to its environment.

• Adaptation
• Evolution
• Extinction
• Fosiil

Change in inherited characteristics over time.

• Adaptation
• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Trait

No more organisms of that species exists.

• Adaptation
• Evolution
• Extinction
• Fossil

Remains of once living organisms.  This is the main evidence of Evolution.

• Adaptation
• Evolution
• Extinction
• Fossils

Organisms with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce (variation, overproduction, and competition).

• Population
• Natural Selection
• Selective Breeding
• Evolution

A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time.

• Population
• Organisms
• Variation
• Natural Selection

A similar organism that can successfully reproduce.

• Population
• Organism
• Tissue
• Species

A genetically determined characteristic or condition

• Population
• Trait
• Gene
• Variation

Inherited trait that makes an individual different from other members of the same species and results from a mutation in the organism's genes.
