Back

Hawks eat more white mice because they are easier to see.

Front

What do the theories about dinosaur extinction have in common?

Back

Fossils in upper layers are complex and fossils in lower layers are simple.

Front

What is the theory of evolution?

Back

The theory of evolution explains that all organisms have one common ancestor.

Front

Why is the theory of evolution debated among scientists?

Back

It was and still is a highly debated topic among scientists due to varying interpretations of evidence.

Front

What is natural selection?

Back

Natural selection is the process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Front

What is the significance of fossil records in understanding evolution?

Back

Fossil records provide evidence of how species have changed over time and show the progression of life forms.

Front

What role does climate change play in evolution?

Back

Climate change can create new challenges for species, leading to adaptations or extinction.

Front

What is a common ancestor?

Back

A common ancestor is an early species from which different species have evolved.
