Dogs such as Chihuahuas are examples of....

Natural Selection is driven by a change in the environment and survival of the

• Earth

• Fastest

• Fittest

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.

Why do peppered moths tend to be the same color as the trees on which they live?

• It keeps the moth the same temperature as the tree. 
• It makes the moths faster than the birds
• It makes the moths harder to see.

Which of the following explains adaptation.

• An individual organism changes to meet its needs in the environment. These changes pass down to their offspring.
• The species as a whole changes their characteristics.
• Beneficial traits allow organism to survive and pass on those traits
• New characteristics arise in a species as needed.  If these traits are helpful, they are passed down.
