Question
Differences in physical traits of individuals in a population, caused by
genetic mutations and recombination.
The ability of a trait to be passed down from one generation to the
next.
Environmental factors that favor certain traits over others, influencing
which individuals survive and reproduce.
The struggle between organisms for limited resources such as food,
space, or mates.
A trait that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in
a particular environment.
Random changes in allele frequencies in a population, especially in
small populations.
The process by which organisms with traits best suited to their
environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.
The formation of a new species as a result of evolutionary processes.
The intentional breeding of organisms by humans to produce desired
traits.
An organism’s ability to survive, find a mate, and produce offspring in
a given environment.
