Variation - Differences; inherited; evolution
Continuous variation - A characteristic with a range of types
Discontinuous variation - A characteristic with a limited number of types
Environmental variation - A difference in characteristic that is influenced by external factors
Evolution - The process that causes species to change over time
Hibernation - The process of slowing metabolism, including breathing and heart rate
Inherited variation - A characteristic type that is passed down from parent to offspring
Migration - The periodic movement of organisms from one area to another in order to survive
Physiology - The processes that keep organisms functioning
Population - A group of the same species in a given area
Species - The classification for a group of organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring
Variation - The differences in characteristics among individuals within a species
Evolutionary variations in characteristics of members of a species, such as hair color or height in humans, are inherited variations that can lead to evolution over time. These variations in different species help organisms survive by allowing for adaptation to different environments and resources.
