Evolution and Adaptation Concepts

This video from Moomoomath and Science covers key life science vocabulary, including fossil, adaptation, ancestor, evolution, and mutation. Each term is defined and illustrated with examples, helping viewers understand their significance in the context of natural selection and genetic variation. The video concludes with a call to subscribe and share.

What is the primary focus of this video tutorial?

• Chemistry experiments

• Mathematics concepts

• Life science vocabulary

• Physics principles

What is a fossil?

• A type of rock

• A living organism

• A trace or remains of a once living organism

• A plant species

How does adaptation benefit an organism?

• It makes the organism weaker

• It helps the organism survive and reproduce

• It causes the organism to become extinct

• It has no effect on the organism

What is an ancestor in biological terms?

• A future organism

• A type of fossil

• A genetic mutation

• An organism from which later organisms evolved

What does evolution involve?

• The adaptation of a single organism

• A change in the genetic composition of a population

• The extinction of a species

• The creation of fossils

What is a mutation?

• A new species

• A type of fossil

• A change in a DNA gene that alters the genetic message

• An adaptation to the environment

Which of the following is NOT covered in the video?

What results from natural selection acting on genetic variation?

• The development of new species

• The extinction of all species

• The creation of fossils
