Migration
Mutation
Natural Selection
Which scientist is considered the father of evolution?

Carleous Linnaeus
What word describes a trait that helps an organism survive in its environment?
natural selection
mutation
camouflage
adaptation
Mutations are important because they bring about
death of the organism in which they develop
genetic variation needed for a population to evolve
benefits for the individual, not for the population
changes in genotype, but not phenotype
All rabbits of the same species living in a particular area would be an example of a(n)
population
species
community
ecosystem
Which organisms are most likely to survive?
the best adapted to their environment
the fastest
the strongest
the biggest
A grizzly bear survives because he is well-adapted (best fit) to his environment. When he reproduces, he passes on his traits to his offspring. This process is called
Natural Selection
Selective Breeding
Random mutations
Variations in a species

light-colored trait
dark-colored trait
neither
