Here are the matched terms and definitions along with the answers to the questions:

Question 1: Match the correct term and definition

  • Evolution: The change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations.
  • Natural Selection: The process where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Question 2: The Horned Lizard)

  • As a defense mechanism

Question 3: Inheritance of variation in great horned owls

  • "Variation in great horned owl body size due to food supply may be acted on by natural selection. Variation in body size due to inherited traits will be acted on by natural selection."

Question 4: Predicting response of populations to change

  • "When an environmental change is extreme and rapid, populations may be less likely to adapt because the process of natural selection occurs over many generation(s). In these cases, populations may be more likely to become extinct."

Question 5: Addressing groundwater pollution with artificial selection

  • Farmers select plants that are most resistant to pests, which reduces the need for pesticides.
