Which is true about the Theory of Natural Selection?
Not all organisms that are born survive to reproduce,
Organisms compete with each other to survive.
Variations exist among organisms.
All of answers are true.
Explain how the fossil record is evidence for the scientific theory of evolution.
It proves what future species of animals will look like in the future.
It shows that extinct animal have become a fossil through selection.
It shows that extinct species share similarities with current species.
It allows scientist to compare fossils from the past to undiscovered fossils.
The pictures are from different types of animals. What can be said about them that is true?
They all have different bones, which implies that they all share a different ancestor.
They all have different bones, which implies that they all share a common ancestor.
They all have similar bones, which implies that they all share a different ancestor.

A cause for evolution is random genetic (a) that result in a phenotypic (physical) trait
is the idea that organisms that are best suited for environment will live longer, reproduce, and pass on those favorable traits to their offspring

Which of the following best describes natural selection?
A process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
A random change in the DNA sequence of an organism.

What is the significance of the Galápagos finches in the study of evolution?
They demonstrate how environmental changes can lead to speciation.
They are an example of artificial selection.
They show that all species are unchanging over time.
