The scientist that is most closely associated with natural selection is

• Gregor Mendel

• Charles Darwin

• Albert Einstein

• Dmitri Mendeleev

Organisms better suited to their environment tend to survive more often than others; As a result…these organisms pass on their genes more frequently than others summarizes

• Artificial Selection

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Sexual Selection

• Natural Selection

Change in a population over time is known as

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Genetics

• Selective Breeding

Evolution in a population can occur as a result of... (there is more than one correct answer)

• Randomness

• Genetic Equilibrium

• Natural Selection

• Artificial Selection

Selective breeding is also known as

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Artificial Selection

• Sexual Selection

The entire collection of alleles in a population is known as the

• genome

• gene pool

• artificial selection

• genetic stock

The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce is known as

• evolution

• variation

• adaptation

• fitness

 preferences by one sex in a species for certain characteristics in individuals of the other sex is known as
