Biology project
Across
- 3. variation in the relative frequency of different genotypes in a small population, owing to the chance disappearance of particular genes as individuals die or do not reproduce.
- 4. a biological process where humans consciously select for or against specific traits in plants and animals, and then breed them to produce offspring with those desired traits
- 5. the process by which an organism adjusts its internal physiological functions to better cope with environmental changes or stressors
- 7. the phenomenon where some individuals within a population leave more offspring than others due to traits that enhance their survival and/or reproduction
- 9. seasonal movement of animals from one region to another
- 10. a change in the DNA sequence of an organism's genome
- 12. the disguising of military personnel, equipment, and installations by painting or covering them to make them blend in with their surroundings
- 14. physical features of an organism, like body parts or coverings, that have evolved to help it survive and reproduce in its environment
- 15. an anatomical feature or behavioral trait that has lost its original function in the course of evolution, but is still present in the organism
Down
- 1. the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth
- 2. anatomical features in different species that share a similar function but have different evolutionary origins and structures
- 6. the condition of being physically strong and healthy
- 8. the action or art of imitating someone or something, typically in order to entertain or ridicule
- 11. the action or process of adapting or being adapted
- 13. the process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more successfully, passing on their advantageous traits to future generations
