Inherited trait that helps an organism survive is a(n) __________.

• Fossil

• Adaptation

• Ancestor

• Natural selection

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.

Evolution

• Animals and plants change gradually over a long period of time through a process of natural selection

• The planets move around the sun, not the other way around

• An explosion of heat that occurred 15 billion years ago and from which the Universe originated

• The force which makes two objects move towards each other, most commonly when an object falls to the ground
