-Naturalist; wrote On the Origin of Species; suggested species evolve or adapt over time due to "natural selection" (the weaker die out)

A group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area

A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring.

Any difference between individuals of the same species; may improve the survival chances of certain individuals

any event that changes genetic structure; source of variation; can be beneficial or harmful to an organism

the practice by which humans breed specific plants or animals for desired traits; also referred to as artificial selection

an inherited trait that improves survival and reproductive success of an organism, can be structural (physical feature of body), behavioral, or physiological (a physical or chemical event that occurs automatically within the body of an organism)

organisms traveling long distances in search of new habitats

Having to do with an organisms physical processes such as breathing, food, water, sleep, homeostasis, excretion

organisms produce more offspring than can survive

4 things that influence the change of species: (Check 4 that are correct)

the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources

A term that typically describes a species that no longer has any known living individuals.

adaptations that make you more fit means you will survive longer than the less fit and reproduce. The weak die out
