Natural Selection Quiz #1

Adaptive Trait means:

• an event or process that leads to a result or change

• a trait that makes it more likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment

• changes in climate over a long period of time that can be caused by natural events or human activities

• a long piece of DNA that contains many genes

The definition of Ancestor is:

• a characteristic that all members of a species have

• the number of individuals with each trait in a population

• an event or process that leads to a result or change

• a related organism from a previous generation

Cause means:

• a related organism from a previous generation

• the number of individuals with each trait in a population

• a long piece of DNA that contains many genes

• an event or process that leads to a result or change

Define chromosome:

• a long piece of DNA that contains many genes

• a trait that makes it more likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment

• a related organism from a previous generation

• a type of molecule that genes and chromosomes are made of

Distribution is:

• a result or change that happens because of an event or process

• having died out completely and no longer alive anywhere on Earth

• the number of individuals with each trait in a population

• a characteristic that all members of a species have

DNA is:

• everything (living and nonliving) that surrounds an organism

• evidence of life from the past, such as fossilized bones, footprints, or leaf prints

• a type of molecule that genes and chromosomes are made of

• deoxyribonucleic acid

Environment is:

• everything (living and nonliving) that surrounds an organism

• To laugh out loud

Climate Change is:

• an instruction for making a protein molecule

• an event or process that leads to a result or change

• a type of molecule that genes and chromosomes are made of

• changes in climate over a long period of time that can be caused by natural events or human activities

Effect means:

• a trait that makes it more likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment

• a related organism from a previous generation

• a result or change that happens because of an event or process
