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

the more offspring the more likely the offspring will survive

so that their babies can have friends to play with

the more offspring the less likely offspring will survive

the more offspring the less competition

Why is genetic variation important?

Enables an organism to adapt to the environment

Has no effect and causes organisms to die

What are homologous structures?

Structures with a common ancestor, similar structure, but not function

Structures with no common ancestor and same function

Structures with no common ancestor or function

Structures with a common ancestor, same function, but different structure.

What are analogous structures?

Structures with no common ancestor and have similar function

Structures with no common ancestor or function

Structures with a common ancestor, similar structure, but not function

Structures with a common ancestor, same function, but different structure.

What is a vestigial structure?

structures that allow adaptation

structures that help with camouflage

structures that have a similar structure but different function

What is artificial selection?

Traits that adapt to environments

Traits passed along from one generation to the next

Which environmental change would lead to the better survival of darker moths over lighter ones?

trees become covered in black ash from nearby factories

Warmer weather causes tree leaves to grow quicker

Heavy rainfall caused trees to grow taller

Disease killed off more than half the TREE population

What does the phrase SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST mean?

The most adapted to its environment will survive

The fastest is more likely to survive

The strongest is more likely to survive

The biggest is more likely to survive

Why do some birds and butterflies migrate?

Because of weather changes and food supply

There isn't a reason, they just do it

For a family vacation in warmer areas

Which describes a likely reason WHY a species would become extinct after a mass ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE ?

There are not enough members of a species born with a trait necessary to survive in the new environment.

The environmental changes leads to fewer predators.

The change in the environment creates more resources and less competition.

There is more living space for the species in the changed environment.

What conclusions can be made about these four organisms?

The four organisms have a common ancestor since they have the same number of bones in the same positions.

The four organisms have no connection to each other because they live in the different ecosystems.

The four organisms have similar bones because they live in similar environments.

The four organisms have different ancestors since they live in different environments.

Imagine you're on an Arctic adventure with William and Rohan. Why would William's pet white rabbit, Snowball, have an advantage over Rohan's pet black rabbit, Shadow, in the icy wilderness?

Snowball is harder to see in the snow.

Snowball has shorter legs and burrows faster.

Snowball grows faster and lives in snow.

Why did dark moths have a survival advantage when they were near factories?

They blended in with the dark tree trunks.

They could hide in the birds shadow.

They could push the white moths into the flames.

They did not have a survival advantage.

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 did the number of white peppered moths decrease so much by 1895?

they did not blend in with the trees and birds ate them

they tasted better to the birds than the black moths

they were easier to reach on the trees

white moths flew away to find better trees to blend in with
