Natural selection

The 4 stages of natural selection in order are:

• Mutation, Adaptation, Competition, Extinction
• Reproduction, Survival, Adaptation, Variation
• Reproduction, Variation, Competition, Selection

• Selection, Competition, Variation, Reproduction

slight difference in an inherited trait of individual members of a species

• Mutation
• Variation
• Adaptation
• Speciation

what did Darwin discover about the difference in tortoises

• Darwin discovered that tortoises differed in shell shape and size based on their island habitats.
• Darwin noted that tortoises only differed in color, not in shell shape or size.
• Darwin discovered that tortoises were all the same size across different islands.
• Darwin found that tortoises had the same shell shape regardless of their habitat.

process by which favorite traits tend to increase in frequency over time. "Survival of the fittest"

• Natural selection
• Artificial selection
• Genetic drift
• Evolutionary adaptation

3 categories of adaptations include

• structural, behavioral, physiological
• genetic, environmental, social
• cognitive, emotional, cultural
• temporary, permanent, seasonal

the resemblance of one species to another

• camouflage
• adaptation
• symbiosis
• mimicry

Which of the following is an example of a structural adaptation?

• A wolf hunting in packs

• A fish swimming upstream

• A bear hibernating

• A bird's beak shape

Using this picture, what defense is this Hawk Moth displaying?

• camouflage
• emitting smells
• mimicry
• panting

an inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of surviving and reproducing

• Genetic Drift
• Mutation
• Evolution
• Adaptation

Which of the following is a functional adaptation?

• The thick fur of a polar bear

• The migration of birds

• The long roots of a desert plant
