Random changes in allele frequencies in a population, especially in

Question

small populations.
An organism’s ability to survive, find a mate, and produce offspring in
a given environment.
A trait that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in
a particular environment.
The formation of a new species as a result of evolutionary processes.
The intentional breeding of organisms by humans to produce desired
traits.
The process by which organisms with traits best suited to their
environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Differences in physical traits of individuals in a population, caused by
genetic mutations and recombination.
The struggle between organisms for limited resources such as food,
space, or mates.
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.

Answer 1

Here are the definitions matched with their corresponding vocabulary terms:

1. Genetic Drift: Random changes in allele frequencies in a population, especially in small populations.
2. Fitness: An organism’s ability to survive, find a mate, and produce offspring in a given environment.
3. Adaptation: A trait that improves an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a particular environment.
4. Speciation: The formation of a new species as a result of evolutionary processes.
5. Artificial Selection: The intentional breeding of organisms by humans to produce desired traits.
6. Natural Selection: The process by which organisms with traits best suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.
7. Variation: Differences in physical traits of individuals in a population, caused by genetic mutations and recombination.
8. Competition: The struggle between organisms for limited resources such as food, space, or mates.
9. Heritability: The ability of a trait to be passed down from one generation to the next.
10. Selective Pressure: Environmental factors that favor certain traits over others, influencing which individuals survive and reproduce.
