Fossils have similar characteristics.

Members of the group living today live together.

Fossils were found in the same rock layer.

Number of each fossil is similar.

Which statement BEST explains the Theory of Natural Selection?

In nature, the organism with desirable characteristics may survive, while those with weaker traits may not.

Organisms develop desirable structures to survive in a given environment.

Organs that are not used may disappear, while organs that are constantly used may develop.

Acquired characteristics of parents can be passed onto offspring.

What will happen to a population of species if they cannot adapt to the environmental changes?

Changes their structure to survive.

Which does not describe the carrying capacity?

Resources used by the organism.

Maximum number of organisms that the ecosystem can support.

Can be declined when there is overcrowding of population.

Can be changed when ecological succession occurs.

Why does population growth rapidly increase when population size is below the carrying capacity of the ecosystem?

Organisms have enough supply for their needs.

Organisms reproduce rapidly, too.

Organisms get their wants anytime.

Organisms can interact freely with other organisms.

Which phrase best describes the process of evolution?

Change of populations through time.

The development of characteristics in response to a need.

The development of a man from monkey-like ancestors

The change of simple to complex organisms.
