The easiest question in this category: What is an adaption?
An adaption is an evolutionary process that gives organisms a higher chance of surviving.
100
What does Natural selection do?
It thins out the population of a species into survivors with traits that will help them survive more efficiently.
100
What is evolution?
Evolution is the change of a species over a time period.

In a desert, there are a species of lizards that escaped from a vehicle transporting reptiles. These reptiles are orange and are very noticeable in the desert by birds. What type of adaption should take place? A change in color or a physical adaption?
A change in color in order to blend in with the sand.

What are factors of Natural Selection?
Variation, Overproduction, and Competition.

What is homologous structure?
Homologous structure is a similar organ or bone that appears to be in different species.

What happens when an organism no longer needs an adaptation?
It leaves gradually over time.

(Made up.) A species of flies swarm a plant that releases a gas that kills the flies. Since the flies are attracted to it, the population thins. What type of fly would have an advantage due to a variation?
One without the sense of smell or that is not capable of smelling the plant's scent.

What do some dinosaurs have in common with today's animals?
Some dinosaurs had feathers.

Story: A fish species #1 lives in a coral reef. Due to global warming, other hostile fish species have immigrated to the reef in order to avoid death. Fish species #1 becomes increasingly rare and scarce until the point it is thought to be extinct. 57 years later, a similar fish is caught by some fishers and taken to a lab. The biologist studies it and determines it is extremely related to the extinct fish species #1, but has grown unbelievably big and adapted some razor sharp teeth. What happened to the species?
One of the offspring most likely had been born larger with sharper teeth than the others and mated.

If all life came from a common ancestor, how come life is so different? List 3 facts.
Possible answers (Mrs. Franco can also judge the answer if it is not listed.): >Multiple organisms went different directions and evolved differently. >Diversity between species from common ancestors was a cause of being isolated from each other. >Different climates and ways of living led to different adaptions.
