Evolution

How does evolution happen over time?

• through the random mutations

• through the inheritance of traits and Natural Selection

• because of the constant changing universe

• human difference

Define Trait

• the way your genetic code is formed

• the way a feature is expressed in an individual

• a structure made up of coiled DNA

• variations of genes

Define Variation

• the way mutations are expressed in a population

• random mutations

• the ranges of differences of traits in a population

• the way evolution causes change

Survival of the Fittest

• a natural process in which only the organisms that are best suited for their environment survive

• a process in which a species changes because of natural selection

• the way evolution expresses itself in mice

• offspring

Define adaptation

• a change in a species that causes mutation

• a change in a species made in order for them to better survive

• it is because of this the mutations are random

• natural selection

Define mutation

• the way evolution expresses itself in humans

• adaptations that occur faster than usual

• a random change in DNA that can be positive, negative, or neutral

• DNA

what are the three conditions needed for Natural Selection?

• Variation, adaptation, mutation

• traits, variation, mutations

• variation, inherited, beneficial

• inherited, mutation, negative

How do adaptations help animals survive?

• because they can be positive or negative

• because it helps them to be better suited to the environment

• because without it all desert animals would die
