Bio evolution

Question 1

Variations within a species

Answer 1

-differences in species
-caused by genetic mutation
-if mutation is passed to offspring it becomes a part of the population

Question 2

Adaptation

Answer 2

-through variation allows structure, behaviour or physiological process that might help them survive better

Question 3

Mimicry

Answer 3

When safe species looks like dangerous one to fool predators and avoid harm

Question 4

Selective advantage

Answer 4

Traits that help an organism survive
Ex. Giraffe long neck for tall food

Question 5

Natural selection

Answer 5

Process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring

Question 6

Selective pressure

Answer 6

Factor in environment that selects for or against a certain characteristic

Question 7

Artificial selection

Answer 7

Process where humans selectively breed species to emphasize certain traits ex.chickens to produce more eggs

Question 8

Consequences

Answer 8

-prone to health issues
-Decreased genetic diversity

Question 9

Monoculture

Answer 9

Growing one kind of plant in big area leading to diseases or less diversity

Question 10

Gene banks

Answer 10

Store seeds from before man made changes in case anything goes wrong.
