What is evolution?
The process of animals ADAPTING to their environment
The process of CREATING new species through genetic engineering
The process of organisms staying the SAME over time
The process by which species of organisms CHANGE over time.
Explain the process of natural selection.
Organisms that are the most colorful tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Organisms that are the biggest in size tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
Organisms randomly change their genetic makeup over time.
Provide an example of natural selection in action.
Giraffes growing longer necks to reach higher leaves
Peppered moth in England during the industrial revolution
Dogs evolving to have wings and fly
Polar bears turning white to blend in with the snow
How does the concept of adaptation relate to natural selection?
