Genetics
The random change in the ratio of alleles in a population over time is known as this.
What is genetic drift?
This is the process by which organisms with certain adaptations survive to pass on their traits to a greater number of offspring.
What is natural selection?
Natural selection has the potential to allow these birds to develop differently shaped beaks.
What are finches?
Natural selection cannot create this, and can only remove it from a population.
What is new genetic information?
Creationists and evolutionists agree that natural selection affects these.
What are populations?
True or false: Genetic drift is random and unpredictable.
What is true?
Natural selection happens when an existing trait makes an organism more likely to do these two things.
What are survive and reproduce?
True or false: natural selection has the potential to produce the variety of dogs that we see today.
What is true?
True or false: Natural selection has been observed to create new kinds of organisms.
What is false?
Both groups agree that populations change when the environment favors certain traits, and that traits like these in foxes are likely to change depending on the habitat.
What are ears?
Genetic drift has its greatest effect on populations of this size.
What are small populations?
A population of foxes migrates into a desert region. The number of foxes with larger ears is most likely to do this.
What is increase?
Natural selection affects the existing traits that God designed in this.
What is DNA?
Natural selection cannot allow a school of fish in the sea to become these.
What are land-dwelling creatures?
Natural selection removes genetic information by eliminating traits that make an organism less likely to do this.
What is survive and reproduce?
Genetic drift would most likely occur in a greenhouse of snapdragons, an orchard with thousands of orange trees, a pea plant farm, or this.
What is a petting zoo with a dozen pygmy goats?
In a bacteria population, some are immune to penicillin and most are not. After several rounds of penicillin, these bacteria will be more common.
What are the bacteria immune to penicillin?
Natural selection allows the ratios of certain traits to do this.
What is increase or decrease?
Natural selection cannot change a population of foxes into these animals.
What are mountain lions?
Creationists do not believe natural selection is the means by which all creatures descended from this.
What is an original common ancestor?
True or false: genetic drift has the greatest effect on large populations.
What is false?
Natural selection causes the traits that best help an organism survive and reproduce to be passed on more frequently. Genetic drift, in contrast, is described by these two words.
What are random and unpredictable?
Natural selection can eliminate these for specific traits.
What are alleles?
Natural selection cannot change a colony of bacteria into these organisms.
What are multicellular organisms?
This is the one thing natural selection does not have the ability to introduce.
What is new information?
