Unit 6 Review

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

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artifical Selection

Process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; also called natural selection.

• Survival of the Fittest
• Extinction
• Derived trait
• Artificial Selection

When there are not enough resources for all the offspring to survive...

• The offspring will have to compete

• The offspring will all reproduce

• The offspring will give up

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

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

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.

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

Clones have the exact same:

• Personalities

• Physical appearances

• Intelligence levels

• Genetic material
