Selection

Survival of the Fittest and Evolution were proposed by what scientist?

• Charles Darwin
• Albert Einstein
• Steven Hawking
• Isaac Newton

When every organism of a species has died.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artificial Selection

Where the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artifical Selection

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.

Dogs such as Chihuahuas are examples of....

• Artificial Selection 
• Natural Selection 
• Mutations 

A yellow morph and green morph of an insect lives in the rainforest canopy. You would expect:

• the green population to increase and the yellow to decrease

• both populations should stay the same

• both populations will increase

• the green population to decrease and the yellow to increaseThis is a wrong answer

How do you "win" at natural selection?

• survive

• go extinct

• survive & reproduce

1. The process of choosing parent organisms for desired characteristics is called

• natural selection

• Artificial selection

• random selection

• genetic manipulation

1. Artificial selection has been a big factor in the evolution of:

• Dogs

• Panda bears

• Snakes

• Jellyfish

The following is a similarity between artificial selection and natural selection

• Takes hundreds of years

• Humans determine traits

• Nature determines traits

• Offspring are produced
