natural selection

The gradual development of a species into a new one to survive.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artificial Selection

Do organisms "decide" to evolve and change?

• Yes, they know they need to change to survive 
• No, they change because of natural selection

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

• natural selection

• mutation

• camouflage

• adaptation

Genetic differences between organisms of the same species

• Variation
• Adaptation
• Behavior
• Environment

A variation that is helpful to a species is called a(n)

• mutation

• adaptation

• selection

• gradualism

Behavioral changes of individuals of a species that allow for better survival. (Acquired traits)

• Variation
• Adaptation
• Behavior
• Environment

The purpose of selective breeding is to 

• Get bigger animals
• get smaller animals
• create animals with desirable traits
• create animals with bad traits

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

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

Mutations that are NOT HELPFUL usually

• die with that generation

• live long and prosper

• have an advantage

• make the Kessel run in 12 parsecs

What can happen to a species over time if some of the organisms have an advantage?

• The population will decrease
• The population will become extinct
• The population will slowly increase
