Organisms can adapt

• to their physical surroundings.

• to selective breeding.

• to other organisms.

• both physical surroundings and other organisms.

The process of two species changing genetically in response to long-term interactions with each other is

• artificial selection.

• selective breeding.

• coevolution.

• resistance.

For evolution to occur in a population, individuals with a trait that is "naturally selected for" must

• live a long time.

• leave the area.

• reproduce.

• coevolve.

An organism is resistant to a chemical if it

• has a gene that protects it from the chemical.

• has been exposed to a small amount of the chemical over time.

• was not in the area where the chemical was applied.

• did not eat anything with the chemical on it.

Some organisms are more likely to survive because they

• have certain physical traits.

• lack certain physical traits.

• have certain behaviors.

• all of these.
