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 organism knew it needed that trait, survives, and passes it on.
"Organisms that are better adapted to the environment survive to pass traits to their offspring" is the definition of
Natural Selection
Evolution
Selective Breeding
Artificial Selection
An example of selective breeding is
a dog breeder mating 2 dogs to make more dogs
a farmer grows bees to pollinate the plants on his farm
a person pollinates 2 white rose plants to only create white roses
Which is NOT a result of selective breeding?
Large seedless watermelons that consumer demand
Bright oranges that are all about the same size
An insect that matches the color of the environment
A dog that has been bred to have short hair
The purpose of selective breeding is to
get bigger animals
get smaller animals
create animals with desirable traits
create animals with bad traits
When selective breeding food crops what might a farmer select for? (Select all that apply.)
The plant the produced the most grain
The plant the produced the largest sized grain
The plant that was the most disease resistant
The plant that was the smallest
The smelliest plant
Which of these is the first step in selective breeding flowers.
Repeat the process only with the offspring with the desired traits
watch the seeds grow
Choose plants that have the desired trait to pollinate
chose which trait is desirable
Which of these is the third step in selective breeding flowers.
Choose which trait is desirable
Watch the seeds grow
Choose plants that have the desired trait to pollinate
Repeat the process only with the offspring with the desired traits.
"Survival of the fittest" describes which theory
Natural selection
Selective breeding
Natural selection is where ___________ decides which traits should be passed on.
nature
a human
traits
evolution
How can farmers best use selective breeding to increase apple production?
By limiting the number of trees growing so they can have more space.
By choosing trees that are the largest in size.
By increasing the amount of water and fertilizer the trees receive.
By choosing trees that consistently have the most apples.
Problems with animals that are selectively bred include:
Being more disease resistant
Producing more meat
Being more likely to suffer from genetic disease
Being more genetically diverse

Why is "A" less biodiverse than "B"?
Image "A" is more biodiverse.
Image "A" has many corn plants and this makes it have high "rich" biodiversity.
Image "A" has a lot more plants than image "B"
Even though "A" has a lot of corn plants they are all the same species and makes this a low "poor" biodiverse area.
Most wildfires are started by
animals.
lightning.
people.
meteors.
Fires are considered wildfires if they are
hot.
uncontrolled.
destructive.
outside.
Hurricanes form over
the poles.
water.
continents.
islands.
Earthquakes are caused by movements of the crust or
tsunamis.
wildfires.
hurricanes.
volcanoes.
Eighty percent of the Earth's crust was formed by
volcanoes.
landslides.
hurricanes.
wildfires.
Category 5 would describe a very powerful
tsunami.
hurricane.
earthquake.
flood.
What is the most common natural hazard?
flood
wildfire

Which of the following does not come out of a volcano?
ash.
magma.
rock.
gases.
A volcano can cause all of the following except
tsunami.
flood.
earthquake.
hurricane.
Which continent does not have any tornadoes?

an earthquake.
A hurricane hits a coastal prairie and destroys the habitat. Years later there is an appearance of small plants with rapidly spreading roots on newly formed coastal sand dunes. This vegetation describes--
a microhabitat
primary succession
secondary succession
biodiversity
What is the main difference between primary and secondary succession?
primary begins with bare rocks and secondary starts having soil
primary is the first stage and secondary is the second stage
primary builds plant communities and secondary builds animal communities
primary occurs after natural disasters and secondary occurs after disturbances to the ecosystem
What catastrophic event is this?
Where do most tornadoes happen?
Mexico
California
Canada
Tornado Alley in the United States
This catastrophic event starts by lightning or a camper forgetting a fire..
Which of the following best describes primary succession?
Volcano wipes out ecosystem that gradually grows back from ash covered soil
Volcano creates a new island of rock that must break down to form an ecosystem
Forest fire burns down forest that must bounce back over time
Tornado destroys a crop that must slowly grow back over time.
What is an example of a disturbance that could bring about secondary succession?
Humans cut down many trees in a small region
A volcanic eruption covers a village in lava.
Why does biodiversity increase during the course of succession?
Biodiversity refers to the difference in ages of organisms, so some organisms arrive earlier than others.
Over time, the same trees begin to reproduce and take over an area.
Many populations of organisms gradually begin to occupy the same area to create a climax community.
Many organisms move in to the area for a short amount of time, then leave to find a better habitat.
Humans often build asphalt or concrete roads to travel through areas, such as forests. After many years, plants can be seen growing on the roads. What kind of succession is this?
Primary Succession
Secondary Succession
Tertiary Succession
Quaternary Succession
What is the main difference between primary and secondary ecological succession?
Primary begins WITHOUT soil; Secondary begins WITH soil
Primary is the first state and secondary is the second stage
Primary builds plant community; secondary builds animal community
Primary begins WITH soil; Secondary begins WITHOUT soil
Which is faster: Primary or Secondary Succession?
Primary Succession
Secondary Succession
