Life Cycle and Traits
This stage of a butterfly’s life cycle is when it reproduces.
When the butterfly lays eggs
Chimpanzees survive better in groups because of this.
They work together to meet their needs
Plant growth can change depending on this factor.
Environment/location
This habitat could contain fossils of land animals, fish, and plants.
Swamp
Building roads and cities can make it harder for animals to do this.
Find food / survive
Traits like fur color or number of legs are called this type of traits.
Physical (inherited) traits
Zebras stay in herds to confuse predators using this feature.
Their stripes
Cows in cooler temperatures produced more of this.
Milk
Dinosaur X likely lived in this type of environment.
Land
Fertilizer runoff can harm this type of ecosystem.
Water ecosystems (rivers, lakes, ponds)
Kittens from the same parents can look different because of this.
They inherit different traits from their parents
A tiger with more stripes survives better in tall grass because of this.
Better camouflage (blending in)
A plant best suited for the desert showed this evidence.
Stayed green and continued growing
Finding the same plant fossil in different places suggests this.
The environments were similar in the past
Scientists test tools to make sure they do this.
Work correctly / improve them
Flamingos in zoos are pale pink because of this difference.
Their diet (they eat pellets instead of shrimp/algae)
Dark-colored moths survive better because of this reason.
They blend into their surroundings
Animals may struggle in ecosystems when humans do this.
Build roads, buildings, and destroy habitats
Fossils form over this type of time period.
A very long time
When only one organism of a species is left, this may happen.
The species can go extinct
This environmental factor determined whether sea turtles were male or female.
Temperature
Penguins in cold climates have more feathers to help them do this.
Stay warm and survive
Engineers are trying to stop fertilizer from doing this.
Washing into water and harming ecosystems
Scientists study fossils mainly to learn about this.
Past environments and organisms
Living things survive best when their traits match this
