These can cause genetic variations.

• mutations

• adaptations

• a desire to change

• injuries

NGSS.MS-LS1-4

Body parts that function like each other, but are different in structure.

• embryos
• homologous structures

When an organism of a species is born with a variation in a trait that increases its fitness for its environment, we call that trait an adaptation.

• true

• false

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

When an organism of a species has an adaptation, it will compete for resources better, survive longer and pass that adaptation on to it's offspring. This process is called

• evolution by natural selection
• artificial selection
• inbreeding
• outbreeding
