Accepted Answer

variation

Answer

change

Answer

adaption

Answer

species

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Extinction

Answer

Competition

Answer

Population

Answer

Evidence

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Answer

Because they come from dominant alleles.

Answer

Because they come from recessive alleles.

Answer

Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

Question 12

How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has happened on Earth?

Answer

Fossils show how the sizes of certain animals has changed drastically over millions of years

Answer

Fossils show that some species have gone extinct

Answer

Different sedimentary rock layers provide evidence for how the environment has changed over time
