According to the theory of natural selection, some individuals more likely than others to survive and reproduce because they:

are better adapted to their environment than others and will pass on those adaptations to future offspring.

pass on to their offspring their newly acquired traits.

do not pass on newly acquired traits.

produce fewer offspring than others in the same environment.

A gene pool consists of

all of the genes, including all the different alleles, that are present in a population

some of the genes, including the different alleles, that are present in a population

all of the genes that are present in all populations

all of the genes, including all the different alleles, that are present in all populations

Evolution can be defined as a ____________

change in the frequency of an allele in a population over time

change in the frequency of reproduction in a population

change in the frequency of an allele in an individual

The table shows the survival rate of two types of beetles in the same environment over a period of three years. Which statement about the beetles in this environment is best supported by the data?

Green beetles are more fit for their environment than brown beetles

Brown beetles have a shorter life cycle than green beetles have

brown beetles are undergo more unfavorable mutations than green beetles

Why are adaptations important for an animals?

They help them survive in their environment.

They make life pass by more quickly for the animal.

They complicate life for the surviving animal.

Humans, birds, whales, and lizards all have similar arm bones. What is the reason for this?

The function of these bones is the same in all animals

They live in similar environments

What is common ancestry?

When organisms are descended from a single ancestor

When a species no longer exists

What is common ancestry?
