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.

Mutations are a change in what?

• DNA
• tRNA
• genotype
• phenotype

Which of the following statements describes the process of natural selection?

• Individuals with beneficial inherited traits survive to reproduce.

• New species are formed via genetic engineering.

• Populations sharing the same gene pool interbreed and create new species.

• Farmers select animals with desirable variations for breeding.

The process of organisms with the best adaptations surviving and reproducing is called---

• Survival of the fittest

• Natural selection

• Adaptive behaviors

• Being smart

Why does natural selection happen?

• Organisms have to fight to survive.

• Predators have to eat.

• Resources are limited.

• Everything has a common ancestor.
