What is natural selection?
process in which helpful traits become more common over time
a trait that helps an organism survive better
Adaptations can be:
camouflage
hunting skills
ability to survive cold weather
all of the above
Differences in traits are called:
Natural Selection
artificial selection
genetic variations
adaptations
A species could go extinct if:
food becomes more plentiful.
members of the species have adaptations to enhance survival.
there is less competition for resources.
the environment changes drastically and no one can adapt.
Natural selection occurs during the lifetime of a single organism.
True
False
TRUE or FALSE: Natural selection will still occur if each individual has the same exact traits
True
False
How do you "win" at natural selection?
survive
go extinct
survive and reproduce
Survival of the Fittest and Evolution were proposed by what scientist?
Charles Darwin
Steven Hawking
Isaac Newton
Albert Einstein
What is the advantage of having different shaped beaks?
To look different from other species.
To be able to eat the food readily available in the environment.
To protect itself against prey.
To protect itself against predators.
What word describes a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment?
natural selection
mutation
adaptation
camouflage
Which organisms are most likely to survive?
the best adapted
the fastest
the strongest
the most domesticated (tamed)
Do organisms "decide" to evolve and change?
Yes, they know they need to change to survive
No, they change because of natural selection
In a cold environment what would be some adaptive traits? Sellect all that apply.
thick fur
thin fur
thick blubber
strong muscles
What is trait
a color
the DNA of an organism
the quality or characteristic of an organism
when mutatuons cause extra limbs.
The process of choosing parent organisms for desired characteristics is called
natural selection
artificial selection
random selection
genetic manipulation
What is an example of artificial selection?
Crossing a labrador and a poodle to create a labradoodle
Letting dogs choose their own mate
Letting plants pollinate on their own
Artificial selection has been a big factor in the evolution of:
Dogs
Snakes
Panda Bears
Jellyfish
Which statement is true comparing natural selection and artificial selection?
In natural selection, traits benefit humans and in artificial selection, the traits benefit the species
In natural selection, traits benefit the species and in artificial selection, the traits benefit humans
In natural and artificial selection, nature determines what traits will be passed down to offspring.
In natural and artificial selection, the process takes hundreds of years to occur
The following is a similarity between artificial selection and natural selection
Takes Hundreds of years
Offspring are produced
Nature Determines traits
Humans determines traits
When nature selects and species with beneficial adaptation survive and produce offspring
Natural selection
artificial selection
