Adaptation Practice

This makes an organism more suited to its environment

• species

• lifespan

• adaptation

• mutation

Where the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Extinction

• Artifical Selection

Which organisms are most likely to survive?

• the best adapted

• the fastest

• the strongest

• the most domesticated (tamed)

Why is the mouse population changing over time?

• The light mice can reproduce more successfully than the dark mice

• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because the dark mice taste better

• The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily

• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because they can see the dark mice more easily

These moths are all the same species. The differences between their wings is an example of ________________

• Natural Selection

• Variation

• Homeostasis

• Extinction

Coloring or another physical characteristic that help an organism blend in with its environment

• mimicry
• camouflage
• hibernation
• migration

Base your answer(s) to question(s) on the diagram below and on your knowledge of biology. The diagram shows the heads of four different species of Galapagos Islands finches. 
The four different types of beaks shown are most likely the result of 

• gene manipulation 
• natural selection 
• unchanging environmental conditions 
• patterns of behavior learned from parents 

What physical adaptation helps some organisms breathe under water?

• a. lungs

• b. gills

• c. fins

• d. heart

The colors & patterns on a turtles shell help it blend in with the forest floor.  This is:

• hibernation.
• behavior.
• migration.
• camouflage.

Hibernation...

• allows animals to survive when food sources are scarce, conserve energy, and protects them from predators.

• allows animals to move to warmer places.

• allows animals resemble an unpleasant animal and protect itself against predators.
