Overproduction, Competition, Genetic Variation, and Natural Selection

What theory proposes that organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce?

• Acquired Characteristics

• Embryology

• Survival of the Smartest

• Natural Selection

Due to genetic inheritance, members of a species can be slightly different from another in their traits. This is known as...

• Variation

• Overproduction

• Competition

• Evolution

Animals may fight, make threatening sounds,and act aggressively toward members of the same species. These behaviors usually occur as the result of:

• Adaptation

• Evolution

• Competition

• Variation

When every organism of a species has died.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artificial Selection

Evolution typically happens...

• in a few weeks
• over millions of years
• never
• in 100 years

Choose the correct stage of natural selection: "Individuals born with better traits are more likely to "win" and survive."

• Overproduction

• Variation

• Struggle to Survive

• Survival of the Fittest

• Inheritance of Traits

Choose the correct stage of natural selection: "Those who are able to mate and pass those traits on to the next generation"

• Overproduction

• Variation

• Struggle to Survive

• Survival of the Fittest

• Inheritance of Traits

Choose the correct stage of natural selection: "There is a competition for available resources."

• Overproduction

• Variation

• Pressure factor: struggle to Survive

• Survival of the Fittest

• Inheritance of Traits

Which is the first stage of natural selection​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (a)  

• genetic variation
• pressure (competition)
• survival of the fittest
• breeding
• inheriting the desired traits
• new generation has the desired traits

Reorder the steps of natural selection

• Genetic variation

• pressure (competition)

• survival of the fittest

• Breeding

• Inheriting the desired traits and the new generation displays those traits
