In natural selection, individuals with some variant of an inherited trait, such as coloring, the size of a beak, or timing of seed germination are more likely to do this.

According to Darwin, this is the
primary mechanism for Evolution

He was ALMOST credited for the idea of natural selection.

This is categorized as the process of change over time.

This is the lifespan of the pup fish.

If populations with a common ancestor develop in
different environments with different selection
pressures for adaptation, over time these populations may develop into different ___________.

Darwin’s famous book.

This is the phrase that modern biologists NO LONGER use.

This is the most important mechanism.

To avoid becoming extinct, it is important that the pup fish do this.

This is a key component of natural selection.

Darwin was a passenger on this
Vessel.

This happens when DNA is not copied correctly.

While in the Galapagos Islands, Darwin saw great diversity among this species.

These pup fish can be found only in this area.

This is a change in the body or behavior of a species in response to a new environmental condition.

These islands of the coast of Equator were a cornerstone of evolutionary discovery for Charles Darwin.

T/F ALL mutations have a negative effect.

As characteristics of individuals in populations of a single species become very different from those of the original population will result in this.

Biologists know that _____________ in pup fish allowed it to survive geological changes 10,000 years ago.

This is the genetic mechanism for natural selection.

The physical separation of a species by a geographic barrier can lead to this

This is a result of genetic mutations.

Organisms are successfcul at surviving if they do these TWO things.

Humans have done their part to hurt the pup fish population by ____________________.
