100
What do we call the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms?
What is Fossils?
100
A trait that makes it less likely that an individual will survie in a specific environment
What is non-adaptive?
100
What is the term for the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring?
What is Natural selection?
200
Evolution is...
What is the process by which species adapt to environmental changes over a very long time?
200
Define Mutation
What is a random change in a gene that sometimes results in a new trait?
200
The term for receiving genes from a parents
What is inherit?
200
How did the trait for increased poison level become more common in the newt population?
What is snakes; over time, the high poison levels became more common in the newt population because newts with higher levels of poison were more likely to survive longer than newts without them.

300
Studies fossils in order to understand earths history
What is Paleontologist?
300
The body structures for a population of green herons (a species of bird that lives near water) were stable for a long time. Then, their body structures changed to make the green herons taller. Why did this happen?
What is their environment changed?
300
The number of individuals with each trait in a population
What is Distribution?
300
How does non-adaptive traits affect a population?
What is cause organisms to not survive and reproduce: make a population die out"
300
What type of boundary do plates move away from each other?
what is divergent plate boundaries?
400
Define Descendant species
What is a more recent species that evolved from an ancestor population?
400
What is sea anemone and ctenophore both inherited tentacles from a shared ancestor population, but this population separated into different environments. In each environment, different types of tentacles evolved, which helped the populations survive.
400
What is this ancestor passed on the canine teeth structure to them. This means the grizzly bear and sea otter are more closely related to each other than they are to the desert cottontail rabbit.
400
Any difference in traits between individual organisms
What is Variation?
400

What is metamorphic rock?
500
Define common ancestor population
What is an older population from which two or more species descended from?
500
This fossil snake and this living rat both have a bone structure in their skulls called the quadrate bone. What best explains why both species have a quadrate bone?
What is the snake and rat both share the same ancestor population that had a quadrate bone. They inherited this structure from the ancestor population?
500
From the diagram, what can you interpret about the relationship between the three organisms
What is all three species share a common ancestor, but the Sumatran tiger and rat are more closely related to each other than they are to the African elephant?
500
A population of rabbits lives in a snowy environment. Some rabbits have white fur, and some have brown fur.
Claim: Brown fur rabbits are more likely to survive in this environment.
Using the CE (Claim & Evidence) format:
- State whether you agree or disagree with the claim
- Provide evidence from natural selection concepts
What is I disagree because of the color of the environment. Brown rabbits will be easier for predators to see, making them more susceptible to be eaten.
