slight difference in inherited trait within a species

• variation

• natural selection

• adaptation

• selective breeding

adaptation

enables a species to blend in with its environment

• mimicry

• variation

• adaptation

• natural selection

involves

the way an organism acts

• structural adaptations

• functional/physiological adaptations

• mimicry

• behavioral adaptations

studies

plants and animals by observation

• geologist

• naturalist

• volcanologist

• seismologist

involves

internal body systems that affect biochemistry

• camouflage

• behavioral adapptations

• structural adaptations

• functional/physiological adaptations

resemblance of one species to another species

• camouflage

• mimicry

• accuracy

• structural adaptation

breeding

organisms for desired characteristics

• adaptation

• structural adaptations

• behavioral adaptations

• selective breeding

variations allow organism to survive by living longer, competing better, reproducing more than organisms without the variation

• natural selection

• selective breeding

• artificial selection

• adaptation

adaptation enables a species to blend in with its environment

• variation

• mimicry

• selective breeding

• camouflage

involves

color, shape, and other physical characteristics

• structural adaptations

• behavioral adaptations

• camouflage

• mimicry
