Natural selection occurs during the lifetime of a single organism.
True
False
Adaptations can be:
camouflage
ability to survive cold weather
hunting skills
all of the above
What is NOT an example of an adaptation
Camouflage to hide from predators
Enlarged heart to help a cheetah run fast.
Building muscles throughout your lifetime to get strong.
Hibernating during the winter.
What is most likely to happen to moth populations in the picture shown?
Light moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Dark moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Light moths--hunted easily, light moths--population increase
Lights moths will change their color to match dark moths.
TRUE or FALSE: Natural selection will still occur if all individuals in a population are exactly the same.
TRUE
FALSE
Due to pollution, a pond becomes darker over time. Which trait variation became more common?
light fish
dark fish
Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.
Because they come from dominant alleles.
Because they come from recessive alleles.
Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
A trait that the organism can change when it wants.
A trait that helps an organism survive in its environment.
A trait that does not help the organism survive in its environment.
The place where an organism lives.
The strongest in the habitat
The fastest in the environment
The best adapted to the environment
The most domesticated (tamed)
What word describes a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment?
natural selection
mutation
camouflage
adaptation
If a population can't adapt to a changing environment fast enough, what might happen?
They will hibernate until they can live in the environment.
The population will stay the same.
The species in the population will live longer.
The species will go extinct.
Show No Change
Become Extinct
Live Longer
