Vocabulary
A group of individuals of the same species that live in a particular geographic area and can interbreed with each other.
What is a population?
A starting population has a low fur Ostrilopes with medium variation, as the temperature changed warmer, the ending population resulted in this over generations.
[DAILY DOUBLE]
What is medium fur traits and medium variation?
This is typically the time frame in which Natural Selection occurs.
What is a long time?
Hibernation is an example of this type of adaptation.
What is behavioral adaptation?
The process by which humans use selective breeding to change a species.
What is artificial breeding?
The number of individuals with each trait in a population.
What is distribution?
A histogram showing high variation shows this.
What is many different traits?
What is traits being passed down from parents to offspring?
The two ways in which mutations occur.
[DAILY DOUBLE]
What is inherited and acquired?
A result or change that happens because of an event or process.
What is effect?
Any difference in traits between individual organisms.
What is variation?
This might make an individual more or less likely to survive (depending on their phenotypes, genotypes, or behaviors).
What is environment?
These are the four principles of natural selection.
[DAILY DOUBLE]
1. Variation
2. Adaptation
3. Time
4. Selection
The physical characteristic of an organism as influenced by the genome and environmental factors.
What is phenotype?
This is the phenomenon where an organism evolves physical or behavioral traits that closely resemble another organism to gain survival advantages. Often a deception to predators and/or prey
What is mimicry?
A trait that makes it less likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment.
[DAILY DOUBLE]
What is a non-adaptive trait?
The traits within a population determine this.
What is which traits become more common over many generations?
or
What are common traits?
Can an organism choose to evolve and change traits within their lifetime?
No, organisms cannot choose to change their genes or traits.
Type of mutation (depending on environment) that reduces the organism's chance for survival and reproduction.
What is harmful mutations?
A type of natural selection that occurs when extreme traits are favored over intermediate traits.
What is disruptive selection?
A type of large molecule that performs important functions inside organisms.
What is a protein molecule?
This is what caused the newt population to become more poisonous.
What is an arms race with their primary predator, the garter snake?
What is the garter snake?
What is the result of the garter snake causing poison to be an adaptive trait?
Animal adaptations play a role in reproduction by allowing organisms to do this.
What is to better survive and pass on their genes to the next generation?
A change in a gene that results in a new trait.
What is a mutation?
This word means to stay alive.
[DAILY DOUBLE]
What is survive?
