to blend in better with its environment

many offspring with a variety of new traits

introduction of new predators in area

few offspring with no new traits

Why can the fossil record be used as evidence of the scientific theory of evolution?

It shows how an organism has changed over time

It shows the process of reproduction

it shows the variety of different species

What evidence do we have that different species may have once shared common ancestors?

similarities in the fossil record

In recent years "SuperBugs" (bacteria that aren't effected by antibiotics) are becoming more and more common. How could natural selection explain this?

Superbugs survive antibiotics and reproduce

Antibiotics cause bacteria to become superbugs

We have always had the same amount of superbugs; modern media just discusses them more.

There is no reliable data on the origin of super bugs.

Humans have been a very successful species on earth. They have very large, very diverse populations spread all around the world. As a result,

Humans have a potential to adapt to various environmental changes.

Human have very limited ability to adapt to changes in the environment.

Young humans have lower survival rates as compared to other species.

All humans are more disease resistant.

Become more likely to eat poison ivy.

Become less likely to eat poison ivy.

Not change in the proportion of goats that can and can not eat poison ivy.

Eat all the poison ivy and leave only plants all the goats can eat.
