The white feathers of a snowy owl allow it to blend in with its environment during the winter months (snow). This is an example of ________________

• Species

• Adaptation

• Environmental Change

• Variation

When all of the organisms of a species have died it is called

• Extinction

• evolution

• adaptation

• Natural Selection

In Bird Beak Buffet, how would your describe multiple birds feeding from the same food source at the same time?

• Competition

• Evolution

• Variation

• Species

Genetic Changes in a population over a long period of time is called:

• half-life

• evolution

• homologous structure

• All of the above

What organism did Darwin study at the Galapagos Island?

• Dogs

• Dragons

• Finches

What is the theory of natural selection?

• The practice by which humans select plants or animals for breeding based on desired traits.

• An inherited trait that helps an organism to survive.

• individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce

The two most important things when it comes to being "more successful" in science are _______

• Survive & Make Money

• Make money & Fortnite

• Survive & Reproduce

• Reproduce & Get food

Which of these was NOT seen in the bird beak buffet activity

• Variation

• Natural Selection

• Competition

• Environmental Change

The hollow bones of birds, which keep birds lightweight for flying, is an example of ________

• Inheritance

• Adaptation

• Cool Bird stuff

• Variation

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

• Because they come from recessive alleles.

• Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

• Because they come from dominant alleles.

• Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce
