Charles Darwin
1.
________________ Ability of an organism to survive and add to the gene pool through reproduction.
2.
________________ Natural selection acts upon/natural selection depends upon.
3.
________________ Differences in traits. Long fur or short fur, spots or no spots.
4.
________________ A population that has many different variations. This helps to prevent extinctions when something
drastic occurs in the population.
5.
________________ Results in changes in diversity and variations. Method to change alleles.
6.
________________ Production of a new species.
7.
________________ Inherited trait that is selected for over time because it allows organisms to better survive in their
environment.
8.
_______________ A proposed explanation of observable phenomena supported by data and scientific principles.
