Terms in this set (20)natural selection Process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; also called survival of the fittest Charles Darwin -Naturalist; wrote On the Origin of Species; suggested species evolve or adapt over time due to "natural selection" (the weaker die out) population A group of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area species A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring. variation Any difference between individuals of the same species; may improve the survival chances of certain individuals mutation any event that changes genetic structure; source of variation; can be beneficial or harmful to organism selective breeding the practice by which humans breed specific plants or animals for desired traits; also referred to as artificial selection adaptation an inherited trait that improves survival and reproductive success of an organism, can be structural (physical feature of body), behavioral, or physiological (a physical or chemical event that occurs automatically within the body of an organism) evolution A change in a species over time prosper to succeed habitat the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism. hibernation A period of inactivity that some animals experience in winter that allows them to survive on stored body fat Estivation Mostly happens during summer. Enables animals to survive long periods of high temperatures and scarce water supplies. migration organisms traveling long distances in search of new habitats physiological Having to do with an organisms physical processes such as breathing, food, water, sleep, homeostasis, excretion 4 things that influence change of species: 1. Overproduction or overpopulation Overproduction organisms produce more offspring than can survive competition the struggle between organisms to survive in a habitat with limited resources Extinction A term that typically describes a species that no longer has any known living individuals. survival of the fittest adaptations that make you more fit means you will survive longer than the less fit and reproduce.

physics The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are connected across a battery of fixed potential difference and that produces a uniform electric field $E$ between the plates. If the plates are pulled twice as far apart but are kept connected to the battery, the electric field between the plates will be\ A. $4 E$.\ B. $2 E$.\ C. $E$.\ D. $E / 2$\. E. $E / 4$.

health Calle is an excellent teacher and the children love her. In the past, her coworkers have commented, “I wish I could learn to be as good at this as you are.” Even with multiple sclerosis, could Calle have a future in training other teachers? What other positive steps might she contemplate taking? Verified answer physics A spark occurs at the tip of a metal needle if the electric field strength exceeds $3.0 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}$, the field strength at which air breaks down.

What is a process in which the organisms that are best suited to an environment survive to produce more offspring?Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.
Which term means that only the best suited organisms will survive and reproduce?Survival of the fittest:
A term that refers to the survival of only those organisms best able (fittest) to obtain and utilize resources, resulting in the evolution of organisms that are best adapted to the environment.
What is the name for the process in which the organisms best adapted to their environment survive apex?Natural selection is a process where organisms that are better suited to a certain set of environmental conditions tend to survive and reproduce more often than others This leads to evolution as the traits mutate into other traits organisms with those traits appear less often in the population.
