The change in populations over time

What is Evolution?

100

The survival and reproduction of the organisms that are genetically best fit for their environment. The most fit organisms reproduce offspring

What is the definition of Natural Selection?

100

Overtime humans all ended up with opposable thumbs, what is this an example of?

What is an Adaptation
100
The hip bones of a dolphin and the tailbone of a human
What are Vestigial Structures?
100
The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is Fitness?
200

Organisms often have more offspring than will survive- vocab 

What is Overproduction?

500

What is an Acquired Trait?

a characteristic or quality that an organism develops or learns during its lifetime through environmental factors, rather than being inherited through genes
