What do we see happening in this photo with the owl?

• Extinction

• Natural Selection

• Camouflage

• Embryology

Why might it be helpful for a species to have a lot of variations?

• If the environment changes, they might be better able to adapt

• It is helpful in asexual reproduction

• They don't recognize each other

• Variations in the bacteria allowed some organisms to be less affected by the antibiotic

• You cannot cure a bacterial infection

• Bacteria do not cause sicknesses

Changes in inherited characteristics can cause a species to change into a new one. This change over time is called?

Heredity is:

• Survival of the fittest

• The passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring

• The change in allele frequency over time

• Unexplained

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

• Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
• Because they come from dominant alleles.
• Because they come from recessive alleles.
• Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.
