This term refers to different traits and alleles within a population.
What is variation?

The concept that organisms who are the best suited to their environment will be the most successful
What is survival of the fittest?

Term referring to the process by which individuals that are better suited to the environment survive and reproduce therefore passing down their genes to their offspring.
What is Natural Selection?
500
The concept that members of each species are seeking the same food, space, and other necessities is known as this.
What is competition?
500
The embryos of different organisms look similar because...

This type of isolation occurs when mismatches in mating traits (signals and/or preferences) prevent mating between two species/populations.
What is behavioral isolation?
