What is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, thus passing on their genes to the next generation?

  1. Natural Selection

  2. Artificial Selection

  3. Genetic Drift

  4. Mutation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Natural selection is the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, thus passing on their genes to the next generation.

What is the term used to describe the process by which a population of organisms becomes better adapted to its environment over time?

  1. Adaptation

  2. Evolution

  3. Speciation

  4. Extinction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Adaptation is the process by which a population of organisms becomes better adapted to its environment over time.

What is the term used to describe the process by which two or more populations of organisms become so different that they can no longer interbreed?

  1. Speciation

  2. Extinction

  3. Natural Selection

  4. Adaptation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Speciation is the process by which two or more populations of organisms become so different that they can no longer interbreed.

What is the term used to describe a change in the genetic material of an organism?

  1. Mutation

  2. Recombination

  3. Gene Flow

  4. Natural Selection


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mutation is the term used to describe a change in the genetic material of an organism.

What is the term used to describe the movement of genes from one population to another?
