Adaptations
A trait that helps an organism survive in its environment.
What is a adaptation?
What is natural selection?
The process where organisms with helpful traits survive and reproduce more
What is speciation?
The formation of a new species
What is extinction?
When all members of a species die out.
What is biodiversity?
The variety of life in an area.
Camouflage and mimicry are examples of this type of trait.
What is structural adaptation?
Individuals with this are more likely to survive?
What is favorable traits?
What is a species?
A sudden event like an asteroid impact can cause this type of extinction.
What is a Mass Extinction
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity have __?
More variety
What adaptations involves how an organism acts?
What is behavioral adaptation?
Organisms that survive pass their traits to their__?
What is a offspring's?
Over time, small differences lead to this major result.
What is a New Species?
What can cause extinction?
Climate change, sea level rising, natural disasters, invasive species, etc.
This increases as new species form.
Speciation occurs when what happens to two similar species.
When the species adapt too much, in result, they wont be able to reproduce.
The scientists developed the idea of natural selection?
What is Charles Darwin?
When organisms can no longer breed together successfully.
What is a Reproductive Isolation?
What is an example of an extinct species?
What is a Dinosaur?
Human activities like pollution and hunting can increase this.
What is Extinction risk?
Adaptations occur because of this process over many generations?
What is natural selection?
This must exist in a population for natural selection to occur?
What is variation?
When groups are separated and evolve differently.
What is a Geographical Isolation?
Losing a habitat can lead to this devastating result for a species?
What is Extinction?
In order to maintain biodiversity, what must people do?
Protecting habitats and species
