What is they will decrease?
The Galapagos Finch species are an excellent example of:
A) Selection on single-gene traits
B) Speciation

What is the Nucleoid?
This is Mr. Potter's favorite nerdy movie series:
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings

This is a physical or behavioral trait that improves an organism's chance for survival.
What is an Adaptation?
Trainers have found that if you breed Pikachu's with larger red cheek spots, they become more powerful. What is this breeding known as?
What is Artificial Selection?
Why is variation important for natural selection?
A. It ensures all individuals are identical

This is Mr. Potter's favorite animal.
What is a Snow Leopard?

This is the term for a process in which individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
What is Natural Selection?

What is they will get longer?
Which statement best describes the role of mutations in evolution?
A. Mutations are always harmful
B. Mutations do not contribute to evolution
C. Mutations provide genetic variation on which natural selection can act
D. All mutations result in visible changes

What is a Wasp?

This is a human-driven form of natural selection. One example is dog breeds.
A population of Eevee's have grown up in a very warm environment, causing them to "evolve" into Flareon's. A flood occurred in that area causing them to change into Vaporeon's.
Identify the selective pressure.
What is the environment: The Water
The two main sources of genetic variation are:
A) Genotypes and phenotypes

C) Single-gene traits and polygenic traits
D) Directional selection and disruptive selection
