Q

Variations are inherited from parents

A

Heritability

16
Q

Populations produce more offspring that can survive

A

Overpopulation

17
Q

Some variations allow the organism that processes them to have more offspring than the organism that doesn’t posses them.

A

Reproductive advantage

Q

Heredity changes in groups of living organisms over time.

A

Evolution

19
Q

Trace of once living organisms

A

Fossils

20
Q

Any change in the allele frequencies in a population that results from change

A

Genetic Drift

21
Q

Drift that occurs when a population declines to a very low number and then rebounds, reducing the allele diversity of the population.

A

Bottleneck

22
