Exploring Evolution and Natural Selection Concepts

What is natural selection?

• A random selection of species that survive without any specific reason.

• A theory that all species can adapt to any environment.

• A human-made process to select the best species.

• A process where nature selects species to survive under certain conditions.

What primarily causes evolution?

• Environmental changes and adaptations.

• Changes in technology over time.

• The movement of the moon.

• The constant temperature of Earth.

What can cause a species to migrate?

• A change in the music environment.

• Availability of more technological resources.

• Changes in climate or availability of resources.

• The desire to explore new areas.

What is the theory of Pangaea?

• The theory that all continents are moving towards each other.

• The theory that all species originated from the same ancestor.

• The theory that all land was once connected in a single supercontinent.

• The theory that climate change is reversible.

How does deforestation affect species?

• Species migrate or adapt, leading to evolution.

• All species in deforested areas become extinct.

• It has no significant impact on species.

• Deforestation increases the number of species.

What is genetic variation?

• The lack of any genetic differences among individuals of a species.

• A uniform set of genes in a species.

• A process where all offspring are identical to their parents.

• Differences in genes that lead to diversity within a species.

Why is genetic variation important for survival?

• It has no impact on a species' survival.

• It increases a species' chance of survival through diversity.

• It decreases the adaptability of a species.

• It ensures all individuals are the same.

How does camouflage affect survival?

• It helps species blend into their environment, avoiding predators.

• It makes species more visible to predators.

• It has no effect on survival.

• It changes the genetic makeup of the species.

What role does genetic mutation play in evolution?

• It prevents species from adapting to new environments.

• It decreases genetic variation within a species.

• It has no role in the process of evolution.

• It introduces new traits that can be beneficial for survival.

What does comparative anatomy study?

• The anatomy of humans only.

• The anatomy of plants.

• The genetic makeup of animals.

• Similarities and differences in the anatomy of different species.
