What is a behavioral adaptation?
A trait most likely to appear.
What is a dominant trait?
Spoken language.
What is a learned behavior?

What is extinction?
A trait that only appears when a dominant trait is not passed down.
What is a recessive trait?

Cells.
Where is your DNA located?
The environment around you.

What are behavioral adaptations?
A method to calculate the probability of the genetic makeup of an offspring.

A theory based around the "strong surviving" and passing their traits. Charles Darwin developed this theory.
What is Natural Selection?
The scientists who studied the passing of inherited traits.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
