Evolution

How does artificial selection differ from natural selection?

• Variation between individuals is not required in artificial selection

• Human choice is the selective factor in artificial selection

• Genetic inheritance does not play a role in artificial inheritance.

• There is no limiting factor affecting the population in artificial selection.

How does modern knowledge about genes affect Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection?

• It provides strong support for Darwin’s theory

• It provides strong evidence against Darwin’s theory

• It has no affect because Darwin included knowledge about genes in his theory

• It is unrelated to Darwin’s theory

What is the definition of Natural Selection?

• A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce.

• Traits that are passed from a parent to offspring.

• A natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment. Organism tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of those traits.

• group of individuals of the same species that live in the same area.
