In Natural Selection (Survival of the Fittest) Darwin believed

The organism with adaptations that allow it to fit into its environment better is the one that will survive and reproduce.

The organisms without the adaptations to fit into its environment is the one that will survive.

How does antibiotic resistance in bacteria demonstrate natural selection?

Bacteria that are naturally resistant to antibiotics survive and reproduce, passing on the resistance genes.

Bacteria develop resistance by choosing to mutate their DNA.

Antibiotics cause mutations in bacterial DNA, leading to resistance.

All bacteria eventually become resistant to antibiotics through use.

How do homologous structures provide evidence for common ancestry among species?

By revealing that different species have structures with different appearances and functions but similar underlying anatomy.

By showing that unrelated species can develop similar structures through convergent evolution.

By demonstrating that species with similar environments develop identical structures.

By proving that all species have identical genetic material.

Which of the following best describes the role of genetic variation in natural selection?

Genetic variation provides the raw material on which natural selection acts.

Genetic variation is detrimental to natural selection as it reduces the survival chances of a species.

Genetic variation is not necessary for natural selection to occur.

Genetic variation ensures that all individuals within a species are identical, thus facilitating natural selection.

Which of the following is an example of an adaptation that improves a predator's success in its environment?
