Darwin's Voyage
What was Darwin's first name?
Charles
Who came up with the theory of natural selection?
Charles Darwin
True or False
Genetic engineering involves the transfer of genes from one organism to another
True
Double Jeopardy!
What is an inherited behavior or physical change that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment?
An adaptation
a trait or characteristic that allows an animal to survive to reproduce in its environment
adaptation
What was the name of Darwin's ship?
HMS Beagle
True or False
organisms who are well adapted to their environment will survive to reproduce
True
Double Jeopardy!!
What is it called when desirable traits are increased by selecting them, not naturally through the environment?
Artificial Selection
What adaptation did Darwin notice in the different finch species?
this technique is used to increase desirable traits in domesticated animals through breeding
Artificial selection OR selective breeding
Where did Darwin voyage to?
The Galapagos Island
In order for organisms to have high fitness, they must be able to survive in their environment and ________________.
Reproduce
Humans breeding two species of lizards because they like their color variation is an example of...?
1. Natural Selection
2. Artificial Selection
3. Genetic Engineering
Artificial Selection
List an adaptation of polar bears.
Teacher discretion
many varieties of something
variation
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
What is the name of the book Darwin wrote?
"On the Origins of Species"
Plants and animals that survive in their environment reproduce and pass on their genes.
In their turn, their offspring that survive will reproduce and pass on their genes.
What is this idea called?
Natural Selection
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
The intentional reproduction of individuals in a population that have desirable traits.
Is this an example of selective breeding or genetic engineering?
Selective breeding
Name this Adaptation
A type of adaptation that allows an animal's color or pattern to blend into its surroundings
Camouflage
DOUBLE JEOPARDY!
this word refers to how well an organism is adapted to survive and reproduce in its environment
fitness
How long did Darwin's voyage last?
5 years
How do mutations affect natural selection and the process of evolution?
a. by increasing gene transfer
b. by changing the environment
c. by decreasing variations
d. by changing fitness
d
Farmers raise corn that has been made virus-resistant by adding a gene from the teosinte weed
Is this an example of selective breeding or genetic engineering?
Genetic engineering
Some animals move great distances as the seasons change. What is this called?
Think when the birds fly south!!
Migration
a random change in a gene
mutation
