Question

Which of the following best describes biological evolution? (1 point)
• Changes in the inherited traits of a population over many generations
• The process of creating a new species between two different species
• The process of adapting to new environments during an organism's lifetime
O The development of an organism from birth to adulthood.
An adaptation is:
(1 point)
• A trait that increases an organism's fitness in its environment
• An accidental mutation with no benefits
• A behavior learned during an organism's lifetime
• A temporary change in an organism
Which of the following best describes intraspecific competition? (1 point)
• Lions competing with zebras for food on the savanna
• Mistletoe growing on a tree branch and stealing nutrients
• Two male deer locking antlers to fight for a mate
• A Venus flytrap capturing a fly for nutrients
Natural selection is best described as:
(1 point) i
• A random process leading to the survival of the strongest organisms
• The process by which organisms are artificially selected by humans
• The accidental changes in the DNA sequence of an organism
O The mechanism where traits with an advantage become more common in a population

Answer 1

1) Changes in the inherited traits of a population over many generations.

2) A trait that increases an organism's fitness in its environment.

3) Two male deer locking antlers to fight for a mate. (competition within the same species)

4) The mechanism where traits with an advantage become more common in a population.
