Match the following

(Evolut=evolution)

• More individuals made than can survive

• Overproduction

In this example, the variation is the ​ (a)   and the adaptation is the ​ (b)   . This is because of the selecting agent, ​ the (c)   . Therefore, the ​ tan mice will be ​ (d)   . On the other hand, the black mice will be ​ (e)  

• color of fur
• dark/black fur
• color of the ground
• eaten and unable to survive and reproduce
• able to survive and reproduce
• bird
• food preference
• light/tan fur

The ​ (a)   mice will survive over the ​ (b)   mice because they can camouflage. Over time, there will be a ​ (c)   black mice and ​ (d)   tan mice.

• black
• tan
• large population (or all)
• little to no

In this example, the variation is the ​ (a)   and the adaptation is the ​ (b)   . This is because of the selecting agent, ​ the (c)   . Therefore, the ​short neck giraffes will be ​ (d)   . On the other hand, the long neck giraffes will be ​ (e)  

• neck length
• long neck
• height of the trees
• unable to eat and survive and reproduce
• able to eat and survive and reproduce
• food preference
• short neck

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

The ​ (a)   giraffes will survive over the ​ (b)   giraffes because they can reach their food. Over time, there will be a ​ (c)   long-neck giraffes and ​ (d)   short-neck giraffes.

• long- neck
• short-neck
• large population (or all)
• little to no

This shows the process of ​ (a)   because over time, all of the giraffes will have ​ (b)   since they will survive, reproduce, and ​ (c)   . Over many generations, this ​ (d)   will spread until all individuals have it. This is because of ​ (e)   .

• variation
• selecting agent
• evolution
• long necks
• pass on the trait to their offspring
• adaptation
• natural selection
• live
• eat more food
