What is evolution?

• Phenotypic differences in a population

• Variation that lets individuals out compete others in a population

• The process of biological change through species that change over time using traits from their descendants

• Mechanisms where individuals inherit beneficial adaptations that produce more offspring for future generations

A mechanism by which individuals that have inherited beneficial adaptations produce more offspring than other individuals is called

• Variation

• Natural Selection

• Adaption

• Evolution

Having a large amount of offspring which increases the chances of survival but increases competition for resources is called

• Overpopulation

• Adaptation

• Variation

• Overproduction

Variation that lets other people/animals compete in a population is called
