  2. Term-ology Differences between members of the same species are called_____. predators traits variations selections

  3. Answer: Variations

  4. Term-ology A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce is called a(n) _______

  5. Adaptation Answer:

  6. Term-ology Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce? competition natural selection overproduction variation

  7. Answer: Natural Selection

  8. Term-ology Give an example of how a species will change over time.

  9. Answer Will Vary:

  10. Term-ology How will a mutation affect an organism’s chance of survival?

  11. Answer: Answer Will Vary:

  12. Select Me! Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce?

  13. Answer: Natural Selection

  14. Select Me! How does natural selection lead to evolution?

  15. Answer:

  16. Select Me! New species formed when groups were isolated by the process of _________________________, in which Pangaea split apart.

  17. Answer: New species formed when groups were isolated by the process of _________________________, in which Pangaea split apart. Continental Drift

  18. Select Me! Give an example of how a mutation could be an advantage.

  19. Answer: Answers will Vary

  20. Select Me! Explain why variations are needed for Natural Selection to occur?

  21. Answer: Otherwise all individuals would be adapted to their environment and equally likely to survive and reproduce.

  22. Can-A-Catch Which fruit phenotype (physical characteristic) reached the ground most often? Why?

  23. The Shortest Answer:

  24. Can-A-Catch Which trait of the Catchecans allows them to be most successful in meeting family food needs? Why?

  25. Answers Will Vary:

  26. Can-A-Catch Consider the future of the Swiftus supersonicus . What are you going to do with these birds? They are eating the fruit that could feed more Catchecans. Suggest a method by which the problem could be solved without endangering the species.

  27. Answers Will Vary:

  28. Can-A- Catch Using the underlined words explain how variation, adaptation, survival, and reproduction, have played a vital role in the way the Catchecans have changed over the generations. Write the explanation in your notes.

  29. Answer: There are many variations amongst members of the Catchecan tribe. One adaptation they have developed is fast reflexes. Survival is dependant upon the ability to catch Bebblefruit. Those who feed their family will ensure that their traits will be reproduced in future generations.

  30. Can-A-Catch What would happen to the Catchecans who always fed their last born first?

  31. Answers will vary:

  43. Answer:

  44. In the Long Run Name a change or adaptation that may be occurring in the human population on Earth?

  45. Answer:

  46. In the Long Run How will climate change affect the polar bear species?

  47. Answer: Answers Will Vary

  48. In the Long Run Identify a logical reason as to why this animal exhibits these traits.

  49. Answer:

  50. In the Long Run What characteristic of the human race will ensure its survival in the future?
