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

The theory of evolution by natural selection means that what is changing over time?

• The inherited traits of a population.
• The acquired traits of a population.
• Hair color and eye color
• Attractive features.

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

What word describes a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment?

• natural selection

• mutation

• camouflage

• adaptation

Why do frogs and other organism reproduce so many eggs or offspring?

• so that their babies can have friends to play with
• the more offspring the more likely the offspring will survive
• the more offspring the less likely offspring will survive 
• the more offspring the less competition

Which organisms are most likely to survive?

• the best adapted
• the fastest
• the strongest
• the most domesticated (tamed)
